Glucose is a white granular powder and is a sugar derived from starch, often corn. It is used to increase the sugar content in sweets, acts as a stabilizer in ice cream and sorbet, and increases the shelf life of baked goods. Glucose powder is used in sugar work to prevent re-crystallization and to give the sugar greater elasticity for pulling and shaping. It can be used as a direct substitute for granulated sugar and is used to sweeten protein powder mixes and in cakes mixes. DE: 24
