High Fructose Corn Syrup

High-fructose com syrup (HFCS) is a sweet, nutritive saccharide mixture prepared as a clear, aqueous solution from high-dextroseequivalent corn starch hydrolysate by the partial enzymatic conversion of glucose (dextrose) to fructose, using an insoluble glucose isomerase preparation complying with 21 CFR 184.1372 that has been grown in a pure culture fermentation that produces no antibiotics. It is a water-white to light yellow, somewhat viscous liquid that darkens at high temperatures. It is miscible in all proportions with water.
