What is the Freezing point of corn syrup?

Answer 1

Hello there. Cornstarch has a very high melting point so when heated it will not melt... and if it does it will be at a very high temperature over quite a period of time.

An example of a low melting point is Candle Wax. A medium melting point would be Sugar (very slow melt).

Hope this Helps :)

Answer 2

Theoretically, the freezing point (temperature at which a liquid becomes a solid) should be the same temperature as the melting point (temperature at which a solid beceomes a liquid). However, recent research points out that sugars don't melt, they decompose, because they discovered that the melting point was heating rate dependent. A sugar will go to a liquid state at a lower temperature if you heat it up quickly, but it isn't really that sugar anymore, so it really hasn't melted. If you heat it up more slowly, you can get different (sometimes more desireable) flavors once it does liquify. This is based on research from Shelly Schmidt, a University of Illinois professor of food chemistry, published in 2011.

Answer 3

There are some contradicting answers:

• The (Corn) Starch decomposes below melting point, around 250ºC+o-...
• it is between 160 - 170 Celsius it is between 160 - 170 Celsius

If you are talking about corn starch powder, the MSDS that I can find do not list a melting point.

Answer 4

The freezing point of corn syrup can vary depending on its concentration. Typically, corn syrup with a higher sugar content will have a lower freezing point. However, as a general guideline, a common concentration of corn syrup (around 80% sugar) will freeze at approximately -50 degrees Fahrenheit (-45 degrees Celsius). It is important to note that this is just an estimate and the actual freezing point can differ based on the specific composition of the corn syrup.

Answer 5

Ah, the freezing point of corn syrup is around 40 degrees Fahrenheit, my friend. It's like a gentle winter day, just cool enough to see your breath but not too cold to freeze your paints. Remember, every substance has its own freezing point, just like every brush stroke adds something special to a painting.
