Most are grayish, and grow to about 9/16 inch (15 mm) long and 5/16 inch (8 mm) wide. The pill bug, on the other hand, has a rounder back from side to side, and a deeper body from back to legs. Their color varies, but is usually grayish brown, and they reach less than 1 inch (2.5 cm) in length at maturity. As members of the Class Crustacea, they are closely related to lobsters, crabs and shrimp.
In cooking, a syrup or sirup (from Arabic: Ø´Ø±Ø§Ø¨ â; sharÄb, beverage, wine, via Latin: sirupus) is a condiment that is a thick, viscous liquid consisting primarily of a solution of sugar in water, containing a large amount of dissolved sugars but showing little tendency to deposit crystals.ike bar syrups, it is a 2:1 sugar and water mixture, but has an added ingredient of gum arabic. Gomme syrup is made with the highest percentage of sugar to water possible, while the gum arabic prevents the sugar from crystallizing and adds a smooth texture.
Liquid glucose is also commonly known as glucose syrup. It's half as sweet as cane sugar, and does not crystallize easily. This makes it popular among pastry chefs. Glucose syrup is almost always made from corn, but it can also come from potatoes, wheat, barley, rice, or cassava.irst of all-glucose is a different sugar than table sugar. Corn syrup in the US is similar but has a few extra compounds. As far as I can tell it is used for similar reasons as liquid glucose in the EU. http://www.ochef.com/784.htm.
