What is Methyl Glucose?
Methyl glucose is a chemically modified glucose compound used in the food industry to enhance the texture and stability of various products. It is derived from glucose, which can be sourced from corn, wheat, or other starches. As a result, methyl glucose can sometimes include corn derivatives, which is important for individuals with corn allergies or sensitivities to consider.
