Corn syrup is a sweetener made from cornstarch that undergoes a process called hydrolysis, which breaks down the starch into smaller sugar molecules. It is a thick, sticky liquid with a high concentration of glucose and other sugars, primarily derived from corn. Corn syrup is commonly used in the food industry as a sweetening agent, and it serves as an ingredient in a variety of products such as candies, baked goods, soft drinks, and processed foods. Its purpose is to enhance sweetness, provide moisture, and contribute to the texture and stability of food products.
