Any of a group of corn syrups that has undergone enzymatic processing to convert its glucose into fructose and has then been mixed with pure corn syrup (100% glucose) to produce a desired sweetness. 1, record 1, English, - high%2Dfructose%20corn%20syrup
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
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

"High-fructose corn syrup" is often used as a synonym for "isosyrup" since it is the main type of isosyrup. 4, 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

En fait c'est simple : la fécule de pomme de terre est un fluide dilatant. Ça veut dire quoi au juste? La fécule de pomme de terre est composée de molécules qu'on appelle les polysaccharides(exemple de polysaccharide : l'amidon). Ces molécules ont une particularité : elles sont très longues. [...] quand on soumet le mélange à une contrainte [...] les molécules s’enchevêtrent, ce qui donne un aspect solide au mélange; mais dès que la contrainte cesse, les molécules se desenchevêtrent et le mélange reprend son aspect liquide. 2, record 4, French, - fluide%20dilatant

La reproduction des couleurs du procédé autochrome se fait par réseau trichrome d’après le principe additif. Le réseau trichrome est constitué de fécule de pomme de terre tamisée, teintée en bleu, en vert et en rouge. Après les avoir mélangées, elles sont collées sur une plaque de verre. Les interstices entre les grains sont noircis avec de la poudre noire de charbon de bois. On recouvre la surface ainsi obtenue d’une couche de vernis très mince et imperméable, puis on coule sur ce vernis une couche d’émulsion photographique panchromatique. Ce procédé correspond à celui de la synthèse additive : 3 projecteurs équipés de filtres bleu, vert et rouge, reproduisant les différentes couleurs par addition, et les 3 plaques argentique en noir et blanc. 2, record 5, French, - proc%C3%A9d%C3%A9%20autochrome
