Substitutes for Glucose Syrup DE42 in gelato

Glucose syrup DE42 is a regular-conversion, acid- or acid-enzyme hydrolysed starch syrup (typically corn) with a dextrose equivalent of about 42 and roughly 80% dry solids. In gelato it is a bulking, body-building sugar that adds solids and anti-crystallization power with only moderate sweetness. Closest matches on the balancing numbers, ranked.
