| 摘要 |
The invention relates to processing of barley grain by a series of sequential steps to produce a carbohydrate syrup having a high maltose content, novel protein products, a gluten-like product, a carbohydrate gum, all useful in the food industry, and a fermentable product which can be converted to alcohol. The processing steps comprise:… (a) forming a starch slurry and adding an enzyme in sufficient amount to promote starch conversion;… (b) heating the resulting mixture at a temperature of below about 76 DEG C for a sufficient period for the starch to dissolve and form a solution;… (c) cooling the solution, adding an additional amount of enzyme and agitating for a sufficient time for the conversion of starch to take place; and… (d) heating the resulting mixture to complete starch conversion, and separating solids comprising proteins and a liquid portion comprising a maltose syrup. |
