With escalating sugar prices, many companies are reported to be switching to high-fructose corn syrup as a sweetener. Staley believes that the conversion of corn to ethanol could have an impact on the high-fructose market and it is reported that Staley is designing its Loudon, Tenn., plant, to produce both HFCS and ethanol. Production would be balanced so that when demand for HFCS is off, the plant could switch capacity to alcohol for the gasohol industry.
