Description
Genome Specialities fzc provides high-quality liquid glucose that helps businesses achieve the perfect texture, shelf-life, and appearance for their products.
What is Liquid Glucose?
Liquid glucose is a highly versatile, viscous, and clear liquid sweetener used extensively across the global food and beverage industry.
It is produced through the hydrolysis of starch—a precise biochemical process that breaks down long, complex starch molecules into smaller, simpler sugar units, primarily glucose.
While it is most famously derived from corn starch, liquid glucose can also be manufactured from other premium starchy sources, including:
- Wheat
- Potatoes
- Rice
The Genome Specialities Advantage: At Genome Specialities , we source and supply top-tier glucose syrup tailored to your specific formulation needs, ensuring consistent viscosity and purity in every batch.

Commercial Uses & Functional Benefits of Liquid Glucose
- Prevents Sugar Crystallization
Liquid glucose is a vital ingredient in candies, fondants, jams, and jellies. It effectively inhibits the crystallization of other sugars (like sucrose), ensuring a perfectly smooth, grain-free texture in confectionery.
- Powerful Humectant (Moisture Retention)
It is highly hygroscopic, glucose syrup acts as an excellent humectant.
It retains moisture within baked goods, keeping cakes, cookies, and pastries soft, tender, and fresh for an extended shelf-life.
- Adds Body, Volume, and Texture
From rich sauces to velvety beverages, liquid glucose adds body and a thick consistency.
In ice cream production, it plays a crucial role by lowering the freezing point, which prevents large ice crystals from forming and results in a ultra-smooth, scoopable texture.
- Enhances Appearance and Gloss
Looking for that picture-perfect shine?
Glucose syrup imparts a beautiful, glossy finish to glazes, frostings, chocolate ganaches, and hard candies.
