DEFINITION

High Fructose Corn Syrup is a clear aqueous solution of saccharides prepared from high-dextrose-equivalent corn starch hydrolysate by the partial enzymatic conversion of dextrose to fructose, using an insoluble glucose isomerase enzyme preparation that complies with 21 CFR 184.1372. It is available in two types, 42% and 55%, based on fructose as a proportion of total saccharides. High Fructose Corn Syrup 42% contains NLT 97.0% of total saccharides, expressed as a percentage of total solids, of which NLT 92.0% consists of monosaccharides, including 41.0%–50.0% of fructose, and NMT 8.0% consists of other saccharides. High Fructose Corn Syrup 55% contains NLT 95.0% of total saccharides, expressed as a percentage of total solids, of which NLT 94.0% consists of monosaccharides, including 54.0%–60.0% of fructose, and NMT 6.0% consists of other saccharides.
