Another natural option that has gained popularity in recent years is agave nectar. Agave has a more neutral taste than honey. So, it can be a nice alternative to corn syrup when you don’t want to impact the flavor. This sugar and water mixture is a great replacement for corn syrup in baking. However, it is not ideal for candy making because the sugar will crystallize when heated.International Starch Association Starch and Glucose Glossary". Archived from the original on 16 July 2002. Dark corn syrup is a combination of corn syrup and refiner's syrup, caramel color and flavor, salt, and the preservative sodium benzoate. Its color is dark brown. Since golden syrup does not crystallize easily, you can use this in candy making and baking. Use a straight across 1:1 ratio in place of the corn syrup. 4. Honey Choosing the best substitute will depend on your recipe, as well as what you have available. Moreover, it may depend on your dietary preferences.
While the varying levels of sweetness and color from molasses will shift the color and taste of baked goods, it can work as a corn syrup alternative in many baked recipes. In the United States, tariff-rate quotas for cane sugar imports raise sugar prices; [13] hence, domestically produced corn syrup and high-fructose corn syrup are less costly alternatives that are often used in American-made processed and mass-produced foods, candies, soft drinks, and fruit drinks.

Even with its differences, brown rice syrup is still an easy substitute with a simple 1:1 ratio for any recipe. 8. Molasses
Historically, corn syrup was produced by combining corn starch with dilute hydrochloric acid, and then heating the mixture under pressure. The process was invented by the German chemist Gottlieb Kirchhoff in 1811. Currently, corn syrup is obtained through a multi-step bioprocess. First, the enzyme α- amylase is added to a mixture of corn starch and water. α-amylase is secreted by various species of the bacterium genus Bacillus and the enzyme is isolated from the liquid in which the bacteria were grown. The enzyme breaks down the starch into oligosaccharides, which are then broken into glucose molecules by adding the enzyme glucoamylase, known also as "γ-amylase". Glucoamylase is secreted by various species of the fungus Aspergillus; the enzyme is isolated from the liquid in which the fungus is grown. The glucose can then be transformed into fructose by passing the glucose through a column that is loaded with the enzyme D-xylose isomerase, an enzyme that is isolated from the growth medium of any of several bacteria.

Sugar Association Alternative Carbohydrate Sweeteners". Archived from the original on 23 September 2006. In addition to taste, corn syrup is essential to achieving the right texture in many recipes. One of the reasons it is essential to candy making is because it keeps sugar from crystallizing when heated.
