High-fructose corn syrup (HFCS), also known as glucose-fructose is a sweetener made manufactured from corn starch processed by glucose isomerase to convert some of its glucose into fructose. The sweetener is widely used in food industry a replacement for sucrose. Production quotas of domestic sugar, import tariff on foreign sugar, and subsidies of U.S. corn are some of the factors responsible for increasing demand for HFCS. Moreover, raise in the price of sucrose compared to HFCS also contributes to high usage of HFCS. HFCS is used most commonly in soft drinks and is the primary ingredient in most brands of commercial pancake syrups.
