  • Invented in 1957 by Richard Marshall and Earl Kooi, the chemically altered corn product is produced by milling corn to create starch; treating this starch with alpha-amylase to produce short chains of sugars, called oligosaccharides; treating these oligosaccharides with glucoamylase, a fungus further breaking down the sugar chains to yield simple sugar glucose; then adding an enzyme, xylose isomerase, converting this glucose into fructose.
