Properties & Applications - Liquid Glucose (SWEET MAX^TM)
Edible
Liquid Glucose (SWEET MAX^TM) contains dextrin, which retards the process of crystallization. This is an advantageous factor in the number of applications in manufacturing food products like jams, jellies, chewing gums, canned fruits, etc. The primary purpose of using glucose in making jams and jellies is to prevent their cane sugar ingredients from crystallizing.

Confectionery
Liquid glucose (SWEET MAX^TM) prevents spoilage of the product without unduly increasing its sweetness. In confectionery, the addition of cane sugar has two main disadvantages. Firstly it lacks good keeping qualities, being susceptible to crystallization and consequent hardening. Secondly, it has the excessive sweetness of an all-cane confection. Therefore, Liquid Glucose being a non-crystallization substance with less sweetness, is very successful in producing a homogenous and palatable confection. Hard candies are often made entirely out of Liquid Glucose, without adding any sugar.

Bakery
 Liquid Glucose (SWEET MAX^TM) is used in commercial bakeries for pie and cream filling in large quantities. Here, Liquid Glucose (SWEET MAX^TM) gives body, bulk and sweetness. Its non-crystallizing and hygroscopic qualities help to keep the finished product in soft condition.

Desserts
Liquid Glucose (SWEET MAX^TM) has a definite advantages which not only prevents sucrose crystallization but also imparts a smoother texture. Cane sugar can be replaced up to 25 % without materially changing the properties of the ice cream.

Tobacco Industry
Liquid Glucose (SWEET MAX^TM) is used in the preparation of chewing tobacco to impart flavor and to promote desirable texture and keeping qualities. It is also used for flavoring and dressing tobacco for cigarettes.

Shoe-Polishing Industry
Adding 5 to 10% Liquid Glucose (SWEET MAX^TM) to shoe polish prevents caking and also results in a quicker and better shine.

Leather Tanning Industry
The action of Glucose in tanning gives pliability and weight to the leather. In the chrome process Liquid Glucose (SWEET MAX^TM) is used because of its reducing action. This causes the chrome to be precipitated into the body of the leather. Approximately 5% of the weight of the finished leather is introduced in the form of  sugar.

Other usages
Liquid Glucose (SWEET MAX^TM)  is used extensively for manufacturing various syrups, either as a base or as an ingredient. It is used in the preparation of a number of household syrups and for artificial honey.
