Use
High-Fructose Corn Syrup(HFCS) A sweetener that is an isomerized corn syrup derived from the isomerization of the glucose in the syrup to fructose by the enzyme isomerase. Varying concentrations of fructose syrup are available, designated 42, 55, and 90% fructose. The 42% HFCS is a liquid mixture of dextrose, fructose, maltose, isomaltose, and higher saccharides, of which 42% is fructose, dry basis. The 55 and 90% HFCSs are liquid mixtures of fructose, dextrose, and higher saccharides containing 55 and 90% fructose, dry basis, respectively. The range of relative sweetness as compared to sucrose at 100 is 42% HFCS: 90–95; 55% HFCS: 95–100; 90% HFCS: 100–130. It is used in carbonated beverages, canned fruit, frozen desserts, and dairy drinks. It is also termed isomerized syrup, levulose-bearing syrup, and fructose corn syrup.
