Introduction:
Fructose syrup is produced by the hydrolysis of corn starch, which belongs to the starch sugar category, and the production cost will not rise under the current relatively stable corn prices, thus the market price is stable.
Starch sugar industry in line with the policy of industrialization of agriculture, under the influence of the national "three rural" policy, in the starch sugar industry, the continuous improvement of production technology, the scale of continuous expansion, the cost of production will be rapidly reduced.
And with the continuous improvement of fructose syrup in food application technology, its cost-effectiveness with sucrose will be more prominent, more and more people will understand the fructose syrup, more and more food companies will choose it, therefore, the food industry, fructose syrup most of the replacement of sucrose will become inevitable.
