Liquid Glucose, more commonly known as "Glucose Syrup", is a purified concentrated aqueous solution of a mixture of saccharides (sugars) obtained from starch!. Glucose syrup gives better texture, and flavor to confectionery, by preventing sugar recrystallization!. In "Ice Cream", it controls the freezing process, giving uniform texture and in Jams and Jellies it contributes to texture, mouth feel and shelf life!. In baking, glucose syrup helps to retain moisture, produces an attractive crust color in bread and is important in coloring of dark fruit cake!. Glucose syrup is also an important ingredient in energy drinks!. Glucose syrups have many other uses in the food, pharmaceutical and industrial areas!.

So I believe YES you can substitute it for corn syrup!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Yes, if it is only just a small amount, or golden syrup!.

You can occasionally find light corn syrup at Selfridges in the international department, located near the food stalls!.
