The usual use for glucose isomerase is to take glucose made by hydrolysis of corn starch and turn it into a mixture of mostly fructose with some glucose. The corn starch is broken down using amylases. The result is called "high fructose corn syrup (HFCS)." 5, record 1, English, - high%2Dfructose%20corn%20syrup

Bien que les sirops de glucose peuvent techniquement être à base de différentes sources de fécule (maïs, riz, pomme de terre, blé, etc.), ils sont généralement à base de fécule de maïs. C'est la raison pour laquelle les termes «sirop de glucose à haute teneur en fructose» et «sirop de maïs à haute teneur en fructose» sont souvent utilisés de façon interchangeable. 3, record 1, French, - sirop%20de%20ma%C3%AFs%20%C3%A0%20haute%20teneur%20en%20fructose
