PROCESS FOR PRODUCING MALTOSE FROM STARCH

摘要

The present invention relates to a process for producing a syrup which is rich in maltose. The process is comprising the successive steps of liquefaction of a starch milk and saccharification of the liquefied starch milk in the presence of alpha-amylase, beta-amylase and a debranching enzyme selected from the group of pullulanase, iso-amylase and mixtures thereof, preferably pullulanase and further adding maltogenic alpha-amylase and/or iso-amylase, for obtaining a maltose containing syrup comprising at least 85% maltose based on dry matter and less than 1.5% glucose based on dry matter, preferably less than 1% glucose based on dry matter.
