Application of Solid Corn Syrup in Candy & Chewing Gum
What is Enernova™Solid Corn Syrup?
Pure Sweet Taste, High Processing Versatility
Enernova™Solid Corn Syrup, also known as Dry Glucose Syrup or Maltose Syrup, is a dry powder made from glucose syrup extracted from corn starch. Glucose syrup is a mixed syrup containing glucose, produced through complete enzymatic, acid, enzyme-acid, or acid-enzyme hydrolysis and refining of starch or starch-based raw materials.
It appears as a white to pale yellow powder or granular form, with a pure sweet taste and sweetness approximately 20%-30% that of sucrose.
Enernova™Solid Corn Syrup has excellent solubility, dissolving rapidly in water to form a clear solution, making it easy to blend thoroughly with other ingredients in food processing.
Health Benefits
Rapid Energy Supply
As a glucose-based carbohydrate, Enernova™Solid Corn Syrup is rapidly absorbed and utilized by the body, providing immediate energy for post-exercise recovery and physical replenishment.
Low-Sweetness Formulation Support
With sweetness at only 20%-30% of sucrose, it helps reduce overall sweetness in food products while maintaining taste, supporting reduced-sugar formulations and helping consumers manage sugar intake.
Moisture Retention and Quality Preservation
Enernova™Solid Corn Syrup possesses excellent humectant properties, effectively maintaining moisture content in food products, extending shelf life and texture stability, and reducing food waste.
Low Allergen Risk
Derived from corn starch, it is free from common allergens (such as dairy, nuts, and soy), making it suitable for individuals with various dietary restrictions.
Application Advantages
Crystallization Control
In the production of hard candy, gummies, and chewing gum, Enernova™Solid Corn Syrup effectively inhibits sucrose crystallization, ensuring uniform, smooth texture and fine mouthfeel.
Texture & Structure Support
Its low sweetness allows it to increase solids content without increasing sweetness, providing required hardness and crispness. In marshmallows and nougat, it stabilizes foam for a fluffy, soft texture.
Plasticizing & Humectant Properties
In chewing gum, Enernova™Solid Corn Syrup acts as a plasticizer and humectant, giving the gum base a soft chew and lasting moist mouthfeel during consumption.
Thermal Stability & Clean Flavor Profile
Withstands processing from low-temperature depositing to high-temperature boiling. Its neutral flavor does not mask other flavors and colors, serving as an ideal formulation base.
Real-World Applications
Product Information
Brand: Lotte Melon Bar | Company: Lotte
Functional chewing gum featuring a melon flavor profile, soft chew texture, and interactive packaging design inspired by classic ice cream bars.
Key Ingredients
Enernova™Solid Corn Syrup Value
In this innovative Japanese melon-flavored chewing gum, glucose syrup serves as the second-largest ingredient, fulfilling multiple critical functions within the gum matrix. First, it acts as a plasticizer to soften the gum base, giving the chewing gum a soft and moderate chew, preventing the base from being too hard or too sticky. Second, the moisture-retaining properties of glucose syrup help the gum maintain a moist mouthfeel during chewing, extending flavor release duration. Glucose syrup works synergistically with oolong tea extract and gelatin to build a complex texture system — the chocolate chips on the exterior (simulating melon seeds) and the melon-flavored gum interior create a layered taste experience. Additionally, the low-sweetness profile of glucose syrup ensures the melon flavor is not overly sweet, closer to the refreshing sensation of real fruit.
Innovation Highlights
Chocolate Chips Replicating Melon Seeds: Embedding chocolate chips in the gum to visually and gustatorily simulate melon seeds, innovatively fusing fruit elements with chewing gum.
Origami-Ready Wrapper: The gum wrapper is designed to be used for origami, adding fun and interactive experience.
Oolong Tea Extract Addition: Incorporating traditional Japanese tea culture elements, adding antioxidant and oral freshness functions to the gum.
Lotte Melon Bar Relaunch: A classic product relaunched, blending modern formulation technology with traditional flavor memory.
Product Information
Brand: Docile Maxmallows | Company: Docile Alimentos
Gluten-free filled marshmallows combining traditional Brazilian Pacoca peanut candy flavor with a soft, fluffy marshmallow structure.
Key Ingredients
Enernova™Solid Corn Syrup Value
In this Brazilian Pacoca-flavored filled marshmallow, glucose syrup serves as the number one ingredient, carrying the core structural function of the marshmallow matrix. Glucose syrup works synergistically with gelatin to control bubble size and stability in the marshmallow, imparting a light, fluffy texture and soft chew. The crystallization inhibition function of glucose syrup is particularly critical here — it prevents sugar from recrystallizing during marshmallow storage, ensuring the product maintains a smooth, fine mouthfeel throughout its shelf life. The Pacoca flavor (traditional Brazilian peanut candy) requires a neutral marshmallow base to highlight the peanut aroma, and the clean flavor profile of glucose syrup perfectly meets this need. Additionally, the humectant properties of glucose syrup help maintain moisture balance between the filling and the outer layer, preventing the filling from drying out and hardening.
Innovation Highlights
Brazilian Traditional Pacoca Flavor in Marshmallow: Infusing the flavor of Pacoca (Brazilian peanut candy), a national snack, into marshmallows, creating a fusion of local culture and modern confectionery.
Filled Marshmallow Structure: Using a filling process with peanut candy flavored filling inside the marshmallow matrix, creating a rich layered taste experience.
Gluten-Free Positioning: Meeting the growing demand for gluten-free food products and expanding consumer reach.
Integrated Social Media Marketing: Simultaneously promoting on Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok, precisely targeting young consumer groups.
Product Information
Brand: Bonds of London | Company: World of Sweets
Classic British-style sherbet filled hard candy with natural lemon flavor, fizzing center, and recyclable packaging.
Key Ingredients
Enernova™Solid Corn Syrup Value
In this classic lemon sherbet filled hard candy, glucose syrup serves as the second-largest ingredient, playing a key role in both the hard candy shell and the filling structure. In the hard candy shell, the core function of glucose syrup is crystallization inhibition — during high-temperature boiling, glucose syrup and sugar form a stable amorphous glass-state structure together, ensuring the candy shell is transparent, smooth, and resistant to cracking or graining. In the filling, glucose syrup works with sodium bicarbonate and citric acid to produce carbon dioxide bubbles when the filling dissolves in the mouth, creating the classic "fizzing" sensation. The moisture-retaining properties of glucose syrup are also crucial here — it maintains the filling in a moist state, preventing it from drying out and hardening inside the hard candy shell. The neutral flavor of glucose syrup ensures the fresh acidity of lemon and the sweetness of sherbet are fully expressed without being overshadowed by the base sweetness.
Innovation Highlights
Classic Sherbet Fizz Technology: Hard candy shell enclosing a lemon sherbet filling with sodium bicarbonate and citric acid, producing a fizzing bubble sensation upon consumption — a classic of British sweetshops.
All-Natural Formula: Free from artificial colors and flavors, using turmeric color (plant-derived) for coloring, meeting clean label trends.
Vegetarian Certified: Suitable for vegetarian consumers, expanding market coverage.
OPRL Recyclable Packaging: Certified with the On-Pack Recycling Label, allowing consumers to recycle packaging at large supermarket recycling points, practicing environmental responsibility.
Brand Heritage and South African Market Expansion: Bonds of London, a classic British confectionery brand, bringing traditional British candy culture to the South African market.
