Enzymatically converted corn syrup with high maltose content — a clean-label alternative to sucrose.
Product Overview
Maltose Syrup is produced by the controlled enzymatic hydrolysis of corn starch using liquefaction and saccharification enzymes. The process yields a mildly sweet, highly fermentable syrup dominated by maltose rather than dextrose.
Compared to conventional glucose syrups, our maltose syrup has a lower sweetness index, superior moisture retention, and reduced browning tendency — making it the sweetener of choice for delicate baked goods and brewing.
The product is filtered, ion-exchanged for clarity, and evaporated to a shelf-stable 82–84% dry-solids concentration.
Key Features
Roughly 40% the sweetness of sucrose — lets flavour compounds shine through.
Keeps baked goods soft without making them sticky.
Directly fermentable by brewer's yeast — ideal for beer and rice wine.
Produces lighter-coloured syrups and candies.
Water-white, ion-exchanged for minimal colour in finished products.
Upon request, with appropriate certifications.
