  • Glucose Syrups

    Ragus’ Pure Syrups range from familiar ingredients like Golden Syrup to specific custom formulations. Ragus sources raw sugar from across the world to manufacture sugars, syrups and special formulations from its advanced UK factory. Ragus ships its sugars across the world, delivering on-time and in-full to customers across the brewing, baking, confectionary, and pharmaceutical industries

    Glucose Syrup 42DE
    A transparent viscous syrup, with a sweet taste and neutral colour, produced by hydrolysing (breaking down) maize or wheat. It’s used to stabilise products by inhibiting crystallisation, while its high viscosity adds volume and gives chewiness to sweets.

    Glucose Syrup 63DE
    A transparent viscous syrup, with a sweet taste and neutral colour, produced by hydrolysing (breaking down) maize or wheat. More sugars are produced during manufacture, making it sweeter than 42DE and giving less water activity and lower viscosity. This increases its preserving qualities (shelf life) and provides greater body and mouth feel, particularly in beverages.

    Glucose Syrup 95DE
    A transparent viscous syrup, with a sweet taste and neutral colour, produced by hydrolysing (breaking down) maize or wheat. It’s predominately used in the brewing industry as a readily available source of fermentable extract.

  • Caramelised Syrups

    Ragus’ Pure Syrups range from familiar ingredients like Golden Syrup to specific custom formulations. Ragus sources raw sugar from across the world to manufacture sugars, syrups and special formulations from its advanced UK factory. Ragus ships its sugars across the world, delivering on-time and in-full to customers across the brewing, baking, confectionary, and pharmaceutical industries

    These are produced by controlled heating of a sugar solution, at approximately 170°C. The sugar molecules break down, creating compounds that contribute to flavour and a very dark brown appearance – this process is called caramelisation. They’re used for colour and flavour development in dairy products, drinks, ice creams, puddings, savoury sauces and toffee. The required declaration for use in colour development is caramel E150a or Plain Caramel, and for flavour development is Caramel or Caramelised Sugar.
