Bulk Corn Syrup
Corn Syrup
Corn syrup, also known as glucose syrup, is made from the starch of corn. Producing corn syrup begins with combining water and cornstarch, then adding enzymes. Depending on the grade, corn syrups contain various amounts of maltose and higher oligosaccharides.
Corn syrup differs greatly from the commercially used high fructose corn syrup, which undergoes heavy processing that converts its glucose molecules to the much sweeter fructose. You can purchase either light or dark corn syrups, with dark corn syrup having a stronger molasses-like flavor and light corn syrup containing a milder vanilla flavor.
Available sizes: Pails, Drums, Totes, Truckloads

Grades of Corn Syrup
Understanding Corn Syrup Grades
Corn syrup grades are identified by two numbers. The first number represents the “dextrose equivalent.” This measurement defines the amount of reducing sugars present, determined by titration. The second number indicates the sugar content present.
Indiana Sugars Grades
36/43: This corn syrup possesses a dextrose equivalent rating of 36 DE and a sugar content of 43. Typically, this grade of corn syrup is used to manufacture ice cream and other frozen desserts. With a minimally sweet flavor, 36/43 grade corn syrup possesses excellent crystallization control.
42/43:
Sweet and odorless, this grade is often used in canned fruit preserves, frozen desserts, drinks, confectionery products, and bakery products.
63/43: With excellent sweetening power, this corn syrup works well for many baking, flavoring, and beverage applications.
63/44:
With higher sugar content, 63/44 corn syrup is extremely sweet and possesses greater amounts of mono and disaccharides. Like the 63/43 grade, this corn syrup grade is also perfect for baking, beverage applications, and flavoring.
Corn Syrup vs High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS)
What is the primary difference between corn syrup and high fructose corn syrup? Corn syrup is made with 100% glucose. However, some of the glucose in HFCS is enzymatically converted to fructose. Ultimately, both are commonly used in baked goods and beverages for similar applications.
Applications for Bulk Corn Syrup
Corn syrup is commonly used in foods to soften texture, add volume, prevent crystallization of sugar, and enhance overall flavor. Food products commonly known for containing corn syrup include soft drinks, candy, frozen foods, and confections.
Corn syrup is a must for bakeries due to its handy ability to prevent crystallizing, or creating large clumps, in your desserts. Corn syrup creates moist baked goods and can hold up well to the heat of the oven. Try using corn syrup for meringues or other pie toppings.
If you want a mild sweet flavor added to your drinks, you should keep corn syrup in bulk. Corn syrup tends to be less sweet than sucrose, or table sugar, meaning you can control the sweetness level more. Plus, liquid sugars dissolve instantly into drinks at any temperature.
Corn syrup really shines when creating smooth caramels, toffees, and other soft candies.
Corn syrup allows you to control sweetness and make velvety smooth chocolates and other sweets.
Although not as common as high fructose corn syrup, the less processed corn syrup is still an excellent choice to create sodas and other carbonated
beverages, especially if you are aiming to produce “healthier” drinks than competitors who use HFCS.
Many underestimate the importance of sugar products in medication. Just imagine how bitter oral medications would be without sugar. Sugar makes medicine more palatable and easier to consume. Corn syrup blends in easily to liquid medicine without adding an over-sweet, unhealthy amount of sugar.
Ice Cream & Dairy
Popular grocery store frozen treats and pastries alike all have one thing in common: corn syrup. Corn syrup will maintain the integrity of any layered frozen treats from separating or setting. This makes it easier for consumers to cut through ice cream cakes.
Fruit Preparation & Sauces
A thick corn syrup can thicken up sauces, jams, and more. Corn syrup is useful for creating both sweet and savory creations, like a thick barbecue sauce or a strawberry preserve. Liquid sugars are convenient to dissolve into sauces while simultaneously being used as a thickening agent.
