Corn syrup is made from cornstarch, and composed mainly of glucose. A series of two enzymatic reactions are used to convert the corn starch to corn syrup. Its major use is in commercially-prepared foods as a thickener and for its moisture-retaining (humectant) properties which keep foods moist and help to maintain freshness. Because of its mild sweetness, corn syrup may be used in conjunction with highly-intense sweeteners. Corn syrup is used to soften texture, add volume, prohibit crystallization, and enhance flavor.

Can we use sugar or honey in place of corn syrup
Hi, Enya
Yes .. you can use both sugar or honey instead of corn syrup..but just make sure.. the honey doesn’t have some strong flavor since it’s from some different kinds of flowers… thanks !!!
This is great info to know.
