So, what is sirope de glucosa?
Sirope de glucosa, or glucose syrup, is a versatile and widely used food ingredient made from starch. This clear, thick and viscous syrup has a high content of glucose, a simple sugar that is easily absorbed by the body. Glucose syrup is a popular sweetener and thickening agent in the food industry, and can be found in a wide range of products such as baked goods, confectionery, ice cream, sauces and beverages. It is also used in the production of certain types of beer and as a humectant in some cosmetics. Glucose syrup is a highly functional ingredient that helps to improve the texture, viscosity, shelf-life, and overall quality of many food products.
We've built a vegan ingredients scanner that classifies food ingredients as "vegan", "non-vegan", or "potentially vegan".
It allows you to avoid non-vegan ingredients - just take a picture of a product's ingredient list, and the app tells you if the product is vegan or not.
