corn syrup

A thick, sweet, viscous liquid produced from cornstarch by enzymatic hydrolysis, used primarily as a sweetener in food and industrial products.
Noun

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.
