Corn syrup solids (CSS) are not the same as high fructose corn syrup (HFCS); they differ in composition, usage, nutritional value and processing. Although both are made from corn, HFCS is extensively processed to produce a high-fructose derivative that is used as a sweetener and preservative in certain foods and beverages. In contrast, CSS consist of the glucose naturally found in corn and serve as a carbohydrate component in many products, including the Neocate line. Carbohydrates are a major dietary energy source and are critical for growth and function. CSS are preferable because they have good solubility, are lactose-free and are corn protein-free, making it safe for those with corn allergies. |
