A starch hydrolysate is constituted by chains of propoxylated glucose of which the terminal groups are hydrogenated. It is prepared by subjecting a milk of starch to propoxylation followed by hydrolysis of the starch ether thus obtained and hyrogenation of the resulting syrup, or by subjecting a milk of starch to hydrolysis, subjecting the syrup thus obtained to hydrogenation followed by propoxylation, which step of propoxylation may be effected in the presence of an anion exchange resin. The starch hydrolysates are useful as thickeners for the food industry or for suspending agents for pharmaceutical products. |
