To breakdown sucrose, you need amylase. Some with maltodextrin (another amylase) only glucose (mono) goes straight in. Maybe the maltodexrin amylase is more abundant..salvilary amyalse requires you to chew. That is why I chew my gels. Can't chew Mautens.

1 part glucose and one part sucrose (table sugar) is 3: 1 glucose-sucrose not 4:1

I’ve bought Formula369 that’s relatively cheap compared and no more guessing. IMHO…..

So the recipe is just maple syrup? I thought it was half glucose and half fructose? What happened to the ratio 4:1 or at most 2:1 glucose to fructose? I find this topic to be way too confusing for what it is…
