corn syrup
This term refers to a highly processed sweetener characterized by its high viscosity and stability. In culinary contexts, it is prized for its ability to inhibit the crystallization of sugar, making it a staple in the production of smooth candies, glazes, and syrups.
As a mass noun, it is treated as uncountable. To specify a quantity, users must employ partitive expressions or units of measurement, such as "a tablespoon of corn syrup" or "a cup of corn syrup," rather than pluralizing the term.
