Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) – Glucose Syrup

Identification

Product Name: Glucose Syrup
Synonyms: Corn Syrup, Starch Syrup
Chemical Formula: C6H12O6 (primary component)
Recommended Use: Food ingredient, sweetener
Supplier Details: Name, address, and contact information of manufacturer or supplier
Emergency Contact: Local emergency telephone number, poison control center

Hazard Identification

Classification: Not classified as hazardous according to regulatory guidelines
Physical Hazards: Low risk, but can create slippery surfaces when spilled
Health Hazards: May cause mild irritation to eyes or skin from prolonged contact
Environmental Hazards: Large releases can lead to increased biological oxygen demand (BOD) in water
Label Elements: No specific hazard symbols required
Hazard Statements: Not considered hazardous under normal use

Composition / Information on Ingredients

Main Ingredient: Glucose (dextrose) typically >90%
Other Components: Small proportions of maltose and higher saccharides
Additives: Water 10–20% as a carrier
Impurities: Trace minerals and compounds from starch source
CAS Number: 8029-43-4 (general for glucose syrup mixtures)

First Aid Measures

Eye Contact: Flush with plenty of water for several minutes, remove contact lenses if present
Skin Contact: Wash with soap and water, remove contaminated clothing
Ingestion: Rinse mouth, drink water; not expected to cause harm in small amounts
Inhalation: Not an inhalation hazard in liquid form
Medical Attention: Seek care if discomfort persists after basic measures

Fire-Fighting Measures

Suitable Extinguishing Media: Water spray, foam, dry chemical, carbon dioxide
Unsuitable Media: None known for this product
Specific Hazards: Heated containers may rupture; sugars can caramelize and burn if exposed to high heat
Protective Equipment: Firefighters should wear standard protective gear and self-contained breathing apparatus
Combustion Products: Carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and various hydrocarbons typical of organic material fires

Accidental Release Measures

Personal Precautions: Avoid contact with eyes and prolonged skin exposure
Protective Equipment: Wear gloves and safety glasses if handling large spills
Environmental Precautions: Prevent product from entering drains, surface or ground water
Clean-Up Methods: Contain spill; absorb with inert materials (sand or earth); clean thoroughly with water to remove residue; area can become slippery

Handling and Storage

Safe Handling: Avoid eye contact; minimize prolonged skin exposure
Hygiene Practices: Wash hands after handling; do not eat, drink, or smoke during use
Storage Conditions: Store in tightly closed, food-grade containers in a cool, dry location; keep away from strong oxidizing agents
Incompatibilities: Strong acids and oxidizers
Temperature Sensitivity: Avoid high heat to prevent caramelization; prevent freezing which can cause crystallization

Exposure Controls and Personal Protection

Occupational Exposure Limits: No national exposure limits set for glucose syrup
Engineering Controls: Use adequate ventilation in production or handling areas to prevent accumulation of sticky residues
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Safety glasses, gloves, protective work clothing as required by exposure level
Respiratory Protection: Not typically needed; use dust mask if handling dried residues
Environmental Measures: Prevent runoff into local water systems

Physical and Chemical Properties

Appearance: Clear to light yellow, viscous syrup
Odor: No significant odor
pH: Typically 4.0–6.5
Boiling Point: Approx. 105–110°C (221–230°F)
Melting Point: Not applicable (liquid at room temperature)
Solubility in Water: Completely soluble
Specific Gravity: 1.3–1.4
Viscosity: High
Vapor Pressure: Negligible
Flash Point: Not flammable as supplied

Stability and Reactivity

Chemical Stability: Stable under recommended storage conditions
Reactivity: Will not polymerize; reacts with strong oxidizers
Hazardous Decomposition: Heating above decomposition can produce carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide
Conditions to Avoid: Excessive heat, sources of ignition, strong acids
Incompatible Materials: Chlorine, strong oxidizers

Toxicological Information

Routes of Exposure: Eye, skin contact, ingestion
Acute Health Effects: May cause mild, temporary irritation to eyes or skin
Chronic Health Effects: Safe for consumption as a food product; no established chronic effects in occupational exposure
Carcinogenicity: Not listed as carcinogen by IARC, NTP, OSHA
Mutagenicity: No data supporting mutagenic effects

Ecological Information

Ecotoxicity: Not toxic to aquatic or terrestrial organisms in typical concentrations
Persistence and Degradability: Readily biodegradable; will be broken down by microorganisms
Bioaccumulative Potential: Low
Mobility in Soil: High mobility in aqueous environments due to complete solubility
Other Adverse Effects: Large accidental release may increase BOD in water, affecting oxygen levels temporarily

Disposal Considerations

Product Disposal: Small quantities can be rinsed to sewer with large amounts of water (local regulations permitting)
Large Volume Disposal: Absorb, collect, and deliver to approved disposal site; prevent uncontrolled discharge to waterways
Container Disposal: Clean thoroughly before recycling or disposal
Waste Codes: Not regulated as hazardous waste under most national standards

Transport Information

UN Number: Not regulated for transport
Proper Shipping Name: Glucose Syrup
Transport Hazard Class: Not classified as dangerous
Packing Group: Not applicable
