Corn syrup is a thick, sweet syrup that is used as a sweetener in processed foods and beverages. It is utilized in baked goods, candies, jams, jellies, and table syrups. It prevents sugar crystallization, which makes it useful in candy-making and ice cream production to provide smoothness. It is used in soft drinks and processed foods as it is sweeter and more cost-effective than regular sugar. It works as a humectant and preservative that helps keep foods fresh and moist. It is further utilized in the pharmaceutical industry to mask unpleasant flavors in syrups and medicines. It works as a replacement for table sugar in many processed foods, protects the soft texture of canned vegetables and fruits, and reduces freezer burn in frozen items. It is utilized in the animal feed industry because of high fructose to enhance palatability, aroma, and binding in feed. It is used as a plasticizing agent in adhesives and as a precursor for green degradable plasticizers in the polymer industry.

Feedstock for Corn Syrup

The production of corn syrup uses corn grains as the major feedstock. The changes in the price and availability of this raw material affect the manufacturing of corn syrup.

The procurement of corn grains is affected by factors like agricultural conditions, market demand, advanced technology, etc. Its supply is influenced by weather patterns, soil quality, and the use of fertilizers. Its demand in downstream industries like food and beverage, animal nutrition, biofuels, pharmaceuticals, paper, and various industrial sectors like starch and corn oil production governs its availability and prices. The usage of precision agriculture, advanced storage solutions, and supply chain transparency affects its procurement processes. It requires adherence to regulations and addressing greenhouse gas emissions, air and water quality, soil health, agrochemical management, etc., which adds to its procurement costs. Also, the efficiency of logistics and storage further affects its procurement strategies.

Energy costs include electricity for running machinery and fuel for heating systems, along with costs of routine maintenance also come under OPEX. It also includes packaging materials like polyethylene bags, drums, or paper bags and transportation costs that cover logistics for delivering and shipping.
 

Manufacturing Process:

This report comprises a thorough value chain evaluation for Corn Syrup manufacturing and consists of an in-depth production cost analysis revolving around industrial Corn Syrup manufacturing.

• From Corn Grains: The feedstock for this process includes corn grains.

The manufacturing process of corn syrup starts with corn grains that are cleaned to remove impurities. The cleaned corns are then steeped in water, and after that, the softened corn goes through milling that gives corn starch. This wet starch is then blended with a diluted hydrochloric acid or enzyme solution. It hydrolyzes the starch molecules into simpler sugars that result in the formation of corn syrup. The product is then filtered and refined to give pure corn syrup as the final product.
 

Properties of Corn Syrup

Corn syrup is a clear, viscous, and odorless liquid that is completely soluble in water. It is made up of glucose, maltose, and higher oligosaccharides. Its density ranges from 1.4 to 1.54, and its pH is mildly acidic, which is between 4.0 and 5.9. It is non-flammable and stable under normal storage conditions. It works as a weak reducing agent and has a high viscosity, water activity, and the ability to retain. It is non-toxic and non-reactive, which makes it safe and compatible with various ingredients. It is available in light and dark varieties; the light one is nearly clear, and the dark one has a caramel color and molasses for a darker appearance and richer flavor. All these physical and chemical properties make it useful as a sweetener, thickener, and humectant in the food industry.
