Product Description
Hydrogenated Starch Hydrolysate (HSH, CAS 68425-17-2), also widely known as Polyglycitol Syrup and Hydrogenated Glucose Syrup, is a premium non-crystalline polyol compound refined from natural starch raw materials. It is produced through professional technological processes including starch hydrolysis and catalytic hydrogenation, featuring pure physical and chemical stability with no harmful additives.
This product appears as a colorless, transparent, odorless viscous liquid in conventional liquid form, with a mild, pure sweet taste and no peculiar smell. It possesses excellent non-crystalline properties, effectively preventing sugar crystallization in formula systems, which makes it superior to traditional sweeteners in product texture maintenance. Boasting strong and stable hygroscopicity, HSH can lock moisture efficiently and maintain stable humidity of finished products.
In terms of solubility, Hydrogenated Starch Hydrolysate is easily soluble in water to form a uniform and stable aqueous solution, while practically insoluble in ethanol and most organic solvents. Besides the mainstream liquid specification, it can also be processed into free-flowing solid powder via low-temperature drying according to customer customization needs, adapting to diverse production and formulation scenarios. With non-toxic, non-irritating and non-corrosive characteristics, it meets global food and cosmetic safety standards.
