Glucose – Liquid and Powdered

A sugar product made from corn, with less sweetness than sugar (but not as much as trimoline). Available in both liquid and powder form, it is used to give elasticity to textures. The liquid form needs to be gently heated in a heatproof bowl over a bain marie to make it more pliable when adding to a mixture. The powdered form can be added directly to dry ingredients. Both are available from supermarkets, pharmacies, specialty food stores, specialty pastry suppliers and Chef’s Warehouse in Sydney: chefswarehouse.com.au.
