Sec.  168.120  Glucose sirup.

    (a) Glucose sirup is the purified, concentrated, aqueous solution of 
nutritive saccharides obtained from edible starch.
    (b) The food shall meet the following specifications:
    (1) The total solids content is not less than 70.0 percent mass/mass 
(m/m), and the reducing sugar content (dextrose equivalent), expressed 
as D-glucose, is not less than 20.0 percent m/m calculated on a dry 
basis.
    (2) The sulfated ash content is not more than 1.0 percent m/m 
(calculated on a dry basis), and the sulfur dioxide content is not more 
than 40 mg/kg.
    (c) The name of the food is ``Glucose sirup''. When the food is 
derived from a specific type of starch, the name may alternatively be 
``------ sirup'', the blank to be filled in with the name of the starch. 
For example, ``Corn sirup'', ``Wheat sirup'', ``Tapioca sirup''. When 
the starch is derived from sorghum grain, the alternative name of the 
food is ``Sorghum grain sirup''. The word ``sirup'' may also be spelled 
``syrup''.

to determine if the food meets the specifications of paragraph (b)(1) 
and (2) of this section are the following sections in ``Official Methods 
of Analysis of the Association of Official Analytical Chemists,'' 13th 
Ed. (1980), which is incorporated by reference. Copies may be obtained
