  2. Dextrose equivalent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dextrose_equivalent

    The dextrose equivalent gives an indication of the average degree of polymerisation (DP) for starch sugars. As a rule of thumb, DE × DP = 120. As a rule of thumb, DE × DP = 120. In all glucose polymers , from the native starch to glucose syrup , the molecular chain ends with a reducing sugar, containing a free aldehyde in its linear form.

  3. Baker percentage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baker_percentage

    For example, in a recipe that calls for 10 pounds of flour and 5 pounds of water, the corresponding baker's percentages are 100% for the flour and 50% for the water. Because these percentages are stated with respect to the weight of flour rather than with respect to the weight of all ingredients, the sum of these percentages always exceeds 100%.

  4. Glucose syrup - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glucose_syrup

    Glucose syrup on a black surface. Glucose syrup, also known as confectioner's glucose, is a syrup made from the hydrolysis of starch. Glucose is a sugar. Maize (corn) is commonly used as the source of the starch in the US, in which case the syrup is called "corn syrup", but glucose syrup is also made from potatoes and wheat, and less often from barley, rice and cassava.

  5. Corn starch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corn_starch

    Corn starch mixed in water. Cornflour, cornstarch, maize starch, or corn starch (American English) is the starch derived from corn grain. [2] The starch is obtained from the endosperm of the kernel. Corn starch is a common food ingredient, often used to thicken sauces or soups, and to make corn syrup and other sugars. [3]

  6. Glycemic load - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glycemic_load

    A diet program that manages the glycemic load aims to avoid sustained blood-sugar spikes and can help avoid onset of type 2 diabetes. [6] For diabetics, glycemic load is a highly recommended tool for managing blood sugar. [citation needed] The data on GI and GL listed in this article is from the University of Sydney (Human Nutrition Unit) GI ...

  7. Corn syrup - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corn_syrup

    The more general term glucose syrup is often used synonymously with corn syrup, since glucose syrup in the United States is most commonly made from corn starch. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Technically, glucose syrup is any liquid starch hydrolysate of mono-, di-, and higher- saccharides and can be made from any source of starch: wheat, tapioca and potatoes are ...

    * In the UK, teaspoons and tablespoons are formally ⁠ 1 / 160 ⁠ and ⁠ 1 / 40 ⁠ of an imperial pint (3·55 mL and 14·21 mL), respectively. In Canada, a teaspoon is historically 1 ⁄ 6 imperial fluid ounce (4.74 mL) and a tablespoon is 1 ⁄ 2 imperial fl oz (14.21 mL). In both Britain and Canada, cooking utensils commonly come in 5 mL ...

  9. Powdered sugar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Powdered_sugar

    Powdered sugar, also called confectioners' sugar and icing sugar is a finely ground sugar produced by milling granulated sugar into a powdered state. It usually contains between 2% and 5% of an anti-caking agent —such as corn starch , potato starch or tricalcium phosphate [ 1 ] [ 2 ] —to absorb moisture, prevent clumping, and improve flow.
