- Corn starch is converted into ordinary corn syrup through a process called acid hydrolysis. In this process, the wet starch is mixed with a weak solution of hydrochloric acid and is heated under pressure. The hydrochloric acid and heat break down the starch molecules and convert them into a sugar. The hydrolysis can be interrupted at different key points to produce corn syrups of varying sweetness. The longer the process is allowed to proceed, the sweeter the resulting syrup.
- This syrup is then filtered or otherwise clarified to remove any objectionable flavor or color. It is further refined and evaporated to reduce the amount of water.
- To produce a corn syrup powder, also called corn syrup solids, the liquid corn syrup is passed through a drum or spray dryer to remove 97% of the water. This produces a crystalline corn syrup powder.

Is corn syrup solid a glucose polymer?
Corn syrup solid is not a glucose polymer; rather, it primarily consists of glucose and its derivatives in a syrup form. When processed, corn syrup can be concentrated and dried to create corn syrup solids, which retain the sweetness of glucose. While it contains glucose, it does not have the structural characteristics of a polymer, which would involve long chains of repeating units. Instead, corn syrup solids are mixtures of various sugars, primarily glucose, and some oligosaccharides.
Are there carbohydrates in corn syrup?
"Gluten" is a made up word. Sugar, once in the body is sugar no matter what it derives from. So yes, corn has "glutens" "sugar" and starch. Sugar is sugar, gluten is fakeANSWER:Gluten (from Latin gluten, "glue") is not a made up word. It is a protein composite found in foods processed from wheat and related grain species. Corn syrup solids have no nutritional value, other than calories, but they contain no gluten proteins and therefore, would be safe for people who cannot tolerate glutens.
