| High maltose corn syrups (HMCS) are produced by
the controlled enzymatic hydrolysis of starch. Two
grades of HMCS are produced by us. One contains
45-50% maltose and the other contains 52-58% maltose.

| HMCS is widely used in the manufacture of confectionery
items because it improves shelf life due to lower
hygroscopity and reduces stickness. Lower dextrose
content controls better colour stability, outlook
and clarity of the product due to reduced crystal
formation. HMCS is also used as a replacement of
malt in the brewing industry. HMCS increases the
output in brewing. |
