High fructose corn syrup (HFCS) is a liquid sweetener made from a modified form of corn syrup that can be used in place of sucrose in the food and beverage industries. Wet milling is a method of producing high fructose corn syrup from corn. It accounts for approximately 9% of the global sweetener market. There is no difference in composition or metabolism when compared to other fructose glucose sweeteners such as sucrose, honey, and fruit juice concentrates. It typically contains either 42 percent or 55 percent fructose, with the remainder of the sugars consisting primarily of glucose and higher sugars.
The Food and Drug Administration of the United States has determined that HFCS is a safe ingredient for food and beverage manufacturing. However, one of the major factors restraining market growth at the moment is the rise in consumption of low calorie foods and beverages. Furthermore, excessive consumption of added sugar in any form, including HFCS, can have a number of negative effects on human health, including obesity, which is another major factor contributing to the High Fructose Corn Syrup Market slowdown.
