High Fructose Corn Syrup HFCS-42

HFCS-42 is a liquid sweetener derived from corn starch hydrolysis, containing 42% fructose and 52% glucose in dry weight basis, used in soft drinks and processed foods. It falls under HTS 1702.90.40.00 as a sugar syrup blend with over 50% fructose derived from corn, which is chemically equivalent to cane or beet sugars, in solid-equivalent form when considering dry state composition.

Invert Sugar Syrup 70% DS

Invert sugar syrup at 70% dry solids is produced by acid or enzymatic hydrolysis of sucrose into equal glucose-fructose mix, exceeding 50% fructose equivalent in dry state. Classified under HTS 1702.90.40.00 as an invert sugar and fructose blend syrup derived ultimately from cane or beet sugars, used in confectionery and beverages.

Fructose-Glucose Blend Crystalline Powder

This solid sugar consists of crystalline fructose and glucose in a ratio yielding over 50% fructose by dry weight, derived from cane or beet processing. HTS 1702.90.40.00 covers such chemically pure or blended fructose solids 'other' than invert, used in baking and pharmaceuticals.

Artificial Honey Fructose Syrup

Synthetic honey substitute made from cane-derived fructose syrup blended to mimic honey composition, over 50% fructose dry basis without natural honey. Falls in HTS 1702.90.40.00 as artificial honey from cane sugars, used in baking and as sweetener.

Chemically Pure Dextrose Monohydrate Powder

Pharmaceutical-grade dextrose (glucose) monohydrate in solid crystalline form, enzymatically derived from beet starch equivalent to cane sugars. While glucose-dominant, blends or specs meeting >50% fructose equivalent classify under HTS 1702.90.40.00 as other glucose solids.

Isoglucose Fructose Blend 55%

Isoglucose is enzymatically converted glucose-fructose syrup from beet starch, with 55% fructose dry weight, treated as cane sugar equivalent. HTS 1702.90.40.00 includes such EU-style high fructose blends in solid or concentrated form for industrial sweetening.
