# Maltose syrup vs corn syrup: how do you compare them?

Every buyer eventually has to compare a maltose syrup quote against a corn syrup (glucose) quote. 🧪 They are not interchangeable, but how do you benchmark?

We compare at equal brix: sweetness curve (maltose is gentler), crystallisation behaviour, and landed cost per kg of solids. On paper maltose often looks pricier; in application the lower usage rate can close the gap.
