Glucose Syrups Solids for balanced sweetness and texture
Spray-dried starch saccharification products for controlled sweetness, dry handling and broad application fit
AGRANA Glucose Syrups Solids are dried starch saccharification products for food and beverage manufacturers working with dry blends, powdered systems and applications that need functional carbohydrate performance beyond sweetness alone.
The portfolio is based on corn and covers different DE levels, giving manufacturers options for carrier function, sweetness profile, texture, mouthfeel and application-specific processing. In dry mixes, fruit powders, spices and flavorings, glucose syrup solids act as carriers without influencing the taste or color of the final product. In bakery, confectionery, beverages, ice cream and nutrition concepts, they support controlled sweetness, dry handling, blending performance and sensory refinement.
