Corn Syrup
Original price was: $ 1.23.$ 1.11Current price is: $ 1.11.
Corn Syrup is a viscous, sweet liquid derived from the enzymatic hydrolysis of corn starch. It consists primarily of glucose and maltose along with higher saccharides, providing sweetness, viscosity, and moisture retention in food formulations. Corn Syrup is widely used in food and beverage industries as a sweetener, humectant, and texture enhancer. Its ability to prevent crystallization and retain moisture makes it essential in confectionery, baking, and processed foods. Industrial grades of corn syrup are also used in pharmaceuticals and other manufacturing applications where its binding and stabilizing properties are valued.

Aspartame
Aspartame is a low-calorie artificial sweetener approximately 200 times sweeter than sucrose (table sugar). It is a methyl ester of the dipeptide composed of aspartic acid and phenylalanine. Due to its intense sweetness and low-calorie nature, aspartame is widely used as a sugar substitute in various food and beverage products. It is popular among consumers seeking to reduce caloric intake, especially diabetics and those on weight management programs. Aspartame breaks down at high temperatures, limiting its use in certain cooking or baking applications. It is approved by numerous global food safety authorities, including the FDA and EFSA.
Calcium Saccharin
 Calcium Saccharin is the calcium salt form of saccharin, a synthetic sweetener. It appears as a white to off-white crystalline powder with a sweet taste that is several hundred times sweeter than sucrose (table sugar). Calcium Saccharin is water-soluble and widely used as a non-nutritive sweetener in food and beverage products, pharmaceuticals, and oral care formulations. Due to its stability under heat and acidic conditions, it is ideal for baked goods and beverages. It serves as a sugar substitute for diabetic and calorie-restricted diets and is often used in combination with other sweeteners to improve taste profiles.
Dextrose Anhydrous BP Injectable
 Dextrose Anhydrous BP Injectable is a sterile, highly purified crystalline form of glucose that serves as a critical energy source in intravenous therapy. It is widely used in parenteral nutrition, rehydration, and hypoglycemia management. The anhydrous form contains no water, allowing precise control of concentration in injectable solutions. Meeting British Pharmacopoeia (BP) standards, it ensures pharmaceutical-grade purity and sterility, suitable for direct injection or as a component in compounded IV fluids. It provides readily available carbohydrates metabolized to supply energy, regulate osmolarity, and maintain fluid-electrolyte balance in clinical care.
Maltitol Powder
Maltitol Powder is a white, crystalline polyol (sugar alcohol) derived from hydrogenated maltose obtained from starch sources like corn or wheat. It is a low-calorie, high-sweetness sugar substitute with about 90% the sweetness of sucrose but significantly fewer calories (approximately 2.1 kcal/g vs. 4 kcal/g for sugar). It has excellent solubility, low hygroscopicity, and provides a clean, sweet taste without an aftertaste. Maltitol Powder is widely used in food, pharmaceutical, and nutraceutical applications for its sugar-like properties, making it suitable for diabetic, low-carb, and dental-friendly formulations.
Sodium Cyclamate
 Sodium Cyclamate 80 Mesh is a white, crystalline powder used as an artificial sweetener. It is approximately 30 to 50 times sweeter than sucrose (table sugar) and provides a low-calorie sugar substitute. Due to its high sweetness and stability under heat and acidic conditions, it is commonly used in food and beverage formulations, pharmaceuticals, and personal care products as a sugar alternative.
Sucrose
Sucrose, commonly known as table sugar, is a natural disaccharide composed of glucose and fructose. It is a widely used sweetening agent in food and beverages, known for its clean, sweet taste and excellent solubility in water. Supplied in 25kg bags, sucrose serves as a key ingredient in cooking, baking, and industrial applications. It also functions as a preservative, texture enhancer, and fermentation substrate in various industries.
Sugar Slurry
Sugar Slurry is a concentrated aqueous solution of sucrose, prepared by dissolving refined sugar in water to create a viscous, pumpable syrup. It is used extensively in food, beverage, and industrial applications where liquid sweeteners are preferred over granulated sugar for ease of mixing, consistency, and handling. Sugar slurry ensures uniform sweetness and rapid dissolution in various processes and formulations.
Xylitol
Xylitol is a naturally occurring sugar alcohol used as a low-calorie sweetener. It is derived primarily from plant materials such as birch wood and corn cobs. Xylitol has sweetness comparable to sucrose but with fewer calories, making it popular in sugar-free and diabetic-friendly food products. It also exhibits dental health benefits by reducing the risk of cavities.
