I found out what it does from a recipe that actually wants the attribute....
I've made dorayaki a couple of times - it's a Japanese sweet that's kind of like little pancakes with sweet bean paste in between. The recipe I used has whipped egg whites and corn syrup. The egg whites give the cakes a bit of spongy lightness and the corn syrup gives them a bit of bounce and a little stickyness (which is useful because they stick to one another nicely after you put the bean paste in the middle)
(btw Kayro syrup is not HFC - HFC is corn syrup, but it has been chemically modified... kind of like the difference between regular oil and hydrogenated oil)
