We offer certified organic glucose syrup in two precisely controlled Dextrose Equivalent (DE) ranges: DE 20–40 and DE 40–60—both produced from non-GMO, organically grown corn or tapioca starch through enzymatic hydrolysis and gentle vacuum concentration. Free from sulfites, acid processing, artificial additives, or chemical modification, our syrups deliver clean-label functionality with consistent performance across food and beverage applications.
The DE value determines key functional properties: lower DE syrups provide body and moisture retention, while higher DE syrups offer increased sweetness and solubility—allowing you to select the optimal grade for your formulation.
What Is Organic Glucose Syrup?
Glucose syrup is a liquid carbohydrate derived from the partial hydrolysis of starch. Our organic glucose syrup is made exclusively from certified organic starch sources (corn or tapioca, as specified) using food-grade enzymes under controlled conditions. The process yields a clear to amber-colored syrup rich in glucose, maltose, and oligosaccharides—with no residual allergens or synthetic residues.
All batches are processed in dedicated allergen-controlled facilities and meet global organic and food safety standards.
Key Functional Differences by DE Range
| Property | DE 20–40 | DE 40–60 |
|---|---|---|
| Sweetness | Low to moderate (≈30–50% of sucrose) | Moderate to high (≈50–70% of sucrose) |
| Viscosity | Higher viscosity, thicker texture | Lower viscosity, more fluid |
| Hygroscopicity | Moderate moisture retention | Higher hygroscopicity |
| Fermentability | Partially fermentable | Highly fermentable |
| Browning (Maillard) | Promotes golden browning | Faster browning due to higher reducing sugars |
| Freezing Point Depression | Moderate | Stronger |
| Best For | Texture, body, shelf-life extension | Sweetness boost, rapid dissolution, clarity |

Applications by DE Grade
DE 20–40 (Lower DE)
- Bakery: Improves softness, volume, and crust color in breads and cakes
- Confectionery: Provides chewiness in caramels, nougat, and fondants
- Ice Cream: Controls ice crystal formation and enhances scoopability
- Sauces & Dressings: Adds body without excessive sweetness
DE 40–60 (Higher DE)
- Beverages: Rapidly soluble sweetener for sports drinks and flavored waters
- Fermented Products: Ideal carbon source for kombucha, kefir, and craft brewing
- Energy Bars & Gels: Quick-digesting carbohydrate for sustained energy
- Fruit Preparations: Enhances clarity and sweetness in fillings and compotes
Why Choose Our Organic Glucose Syrup?
Our production adheres to strict organic integrity—from farm-sourced starch to final syrup. We use only enzymatic hydrolysis (no acid or sulfites) and low-temperature concentration to preserve quality and flavor.
Every batch is fully traceable and supported by comprehensive documentation: Certificate of Analysis (CoA), Organic Certificate (specifying corn or tapioca origin), Gluten-Free Statement, and Safety Data Sheet (SDS).
Available packaging:
- Custom drum sizes available upon request
- 25 kg food-grade HDPE pails with tamper-evident lids
- 300 kg IBC totes for industrial users
FAQs
Q: What does “DE” stand for in Organic Glucose Syrup, and how does it affect functionality?
A: DE stands for Dextrose Equivalent. It indicates the percentage of reducing sugars present, relative to dextrose. A lower DE (like 20-40) means more complex carbohydrates, resulting in higher viscosity, less sweetness, and better anti-crystallization properties. A higher DE (like 40-60) means more simple sugars (glucose), leading to higher sweetness, lower viscosity, and better browning capabilities.
Q: Is Organic Glucose Syrup considered gluten-free?
A: Yes, Organic Glucose Syrup, regardless of whether it’s derived from organic corn or organic tapioca, undergoes extensive purification during processing. This removes proteins, making it inherently gluten-free and suitable for gluten-free product formulations.
Q: What is the primary source of your Organic Glucose Syrup?
A: Our Organic Glucose Syrup is typically sourced from organic corn starch or organic tapioca starch. We can confirm the specific source for your order upon request.
Q: What is the shelf life and recommended storage for bulk quantities?
A: Our Organic Glucose Syrup (both DE forms) typically has a shelf life of 12-24 months from the manufacturing date when stored in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and freezing temperatures. Ensure containers are tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption. Specific bulk storage recommendations will be provided with your order documentation.
Q: Can Organic Glucose Syrup be used as a standalone sweetener?
A: While Organic Glucose Syrup provides sweetness, it is often used in conjunction with other sweeteners (like organic dextrose or organic sugar) to achieve a desired sweetness level while leveraging its functional properties for texture, binding, and anti-crystallization.
