Substitutes for Glucose Syrup DE33 in gelato
Glucose syrup DE33 is a low-conversion, starch-derived syrup (about 80% dry solids) whose carbohydrate solids are mostly maltose and dextrins with little free dextrose. In gelato it acts as a body-and-solids builder, adding structure and anti-crystallization power while contributing low sweetness and only moderate freezing-point depression.
