About Wheat glucose syrup

Wheat glucose syrup is a sweet, viscous syrup made by breaking down wheat starch. Its carbohydrate composition depends on how far the starch is converted, and the name does not specify a single sugar profile. It is used as a sweetener and to provide body or texture in processed foods and confectionery.

The syrup is usually clear or pale and pourable, with a mild sweetness that can vary by composition. It may be sold at different concentrations and degrees of conversion. Nutrition comparisons should distinguish concentrated syrup from more dilute products and account for the mixture of glucose and other starch-breakdown products.
