Global and Chinese Corn Syrup Market | Service, Size and Share

Corn syrup is made from the starch of maize (also referred to as corn). It contains varied quantities of maltose as well as higher oligosaccharides. Its main use lies in food products, in which it adds volume, softens the texture, improves flavor and prevents sugar from crystallizing.

Confectioners often call corn syrup as glucose syrup. The widely used high-fructose corn syrup is derived from corn syrup. A large proportion of the glucose from the corn syrup gets converted into fructose in order to manufacture high-fructose corn syrup.

In today’s times, corn syrup is produced via a multi-step bioprocess. Its basic raw material is the number 2 yellow dent corn. About 2,300 liters of corn is estimated to give a tone of corn syrup. A majority of the commercially-used corn syrups comprise close to one-third glucose by weight.

High consumption of processed foods around the world is anticipated to aid growth of the corn syrup industry. China is an important market for corn syrup. It is the most-populous nation in the world.

Economic growth has brought about higher disposable incomes in the country. Altered lifestyles and fast pace of modern, urban living are contributing to rising preference for ready-to-eat, processed and preserved foods. This is having a positive effect on growth of the national corn syrup market.

Main commercial products in the corn syrup industry are light corn syrup and dark corn syrup. Light corn syrup has a moderately-sweet taste and is clear. Plain corn syrup is seasoned with salt and vanilla flavor to make light corn syrup.

On the other hand, dark corn syrup has a warm, brown color and a much stronger taste. It includes corn syrup, salt, caramel color, caramel flavor, sodium benzoate, and molasses. Sodium benzoate acts as a preservative and molasses adds to the color and flavor. It is used in science experiments.

Key applications of the corn syrup industry are in commercially prepared foods as a sweetener, thickener, and a humectant. The U.S. is an important market for corn syrup as it is a less-pricey alternative to cane sugar.

The American food industry incorporates corn syrup mainly in mass-produced foods like candies, fruit-based drinks, and soft drinks. Some of the industry participants are Kasyap Sweeteners Ltd., Archer Daniels Midland Company, Henan Xingfa Bio-Technology Co. Ltd. and Global Starch Co. Ltd.
