COMPOSITION HAVING HIGH MALTOTRIOSE CONTENT

摘要

PURPOSE:To obtain liquid or powdery composition having high maltotriose content by subjecting a maltotriose liquid to chromatographic separation with a strongly acidic cation exchange resin. CONSTITUTION:A maltotriose liquid prepared by liquefaction of starch and consisting of 40-60% (as solid content) maltotriose, 15-35% maltose and the other sugar is chromatographed and separated by a strongly acidic cation exchange resin such as 'Diaion SK1BR' or 'Amberlite IR-116R' to afford the liquid composition having high maltotriose content and containing >=65% (as a solid content) maltotriose and <=25% maltose, which then as necessary is subjected to spray drying to provide powder.
