Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for producing a food product comprising hydrolysed starch, as well as to products obtainable by the method. The method has the advantage of reducing the amount of sugar (i.e. maltose) produced by hydrolysis as compared to conventional methods of starch hydrolysis and present the additional advantage of providing good processability for the food product.
Claims17
A method for producing a food product comprising hydrolysed starch, the method comprising the steps of:
- a) mixing a material comprising both starch and at least one amylolytic enzyme with water to form a mixture;
- b) adjusting a temperature of the mixture to a temperature lower than 55° C., and simultaneously subjecting the mixture to high shear mixing in a Ring Layer Mixer, to form a homogenized mixture;
- and
- c) incubating the homogenized mixture such that a desired degree of hydrolysis is achieved,
- thereby obtaining the food product comprising hydrolysed starch, wherein the food product comprises 0.1 wt. % to 6 wt. % maltose.
