Corn syrup is a sweetening agent that is produced by treating cornstarch with an acid. It varies in color, ranging from clear white to amber, and can be used as a table syrup or as an ingredient in cooking. Although not as sweet as regular cane sugar, corn syrup is commonly used as a sweetener. It is also utilized in various other applications, such as preserving, brewing, and baking cakes. However, it’s worth noting that additional sugar may be required for certain recipes when using corn syrup, and less liquid should be used, as the syrup typically contains 20 percent water.
