Abstract
A process for decreasing the reducing sugars content of light steepwater comprising complementary incubation of light steepwater from a corn steeping process having sulfur dioxide (SO2) content at between about 20 ppm and about 220 ppm for at least about 5 hours. The process is particularly useful for obtaining Pharmaceutical Industry Grade Steepwater.
