Replacement of Sugar Syrup with High-Fructose Syrup in Imitation Maple Syrup

Abstract

The replacement of sugar syrup with high fructose syrup in imitation maple syrup (type VIII of Federal Specification JJJ-S-352) was highly successful. High-fructose syrup is known commercially as ISOSWEET-100 or its equivalent ISOMEROSE. This formulation change can result in savings without sacrificing quality because of the high cost of sugar. This ingredient change can save the government approximately $148,000/year. The imitation maple syrup products produced by Staley proved to be as stable as sucrose syrup blends for periods of up to 9 mos. at 38C. Temperature cycling of the product (3 times from 38C to 4C to 38C) did not result in any dextrose crystallization or turbidity in the product.
