glucose syrup
Corn-derived sweetener liquid
Glucose syrup is a thick, sweet liquid made by breaking down starch—usually from corn, wheat, or potatoes—into simple sugars.
It's used in commercial food production to add sweetness, retain moisture, and prevent crystallization in candies and baked goods.
In American usage, corn syrup is the most common form.
