GFS Glucose Syrup

Glucose-Fructose Syrup (GFS) is a liquid sweetener commonly used in the food and beverage industry as an alternative to traditional sucrose. It is produced through the enzymatic hydrolysis of starch, most frequently derived from corn (maize), though it can also be sourced from wheat or potatoes depending on regional agriculture.

Because GFS is a commodity product rather than a single consumer brand, its manufacture occurs globally within the facilities of major agricultural processing corporations. These companies operate vast networks of refineries to supply the confectionery, bakery, and beverage sectors. Ownership of these production assets typically lies with large-scale multinational agribusinesses that manage the end-to-end processing of grains into various sweeteners and industrial ingredients.
