Abstract
The current invention relates to a process for preparing maltitol enriched products and said process is chromatographically fractionating a maltose syrup followed by hydrogenating it into a liquid maltitol enriched product and optionally solidification or crystallization of maltitol. Liquid, solid and crystalline maltitol of different purities are obtainable by a single process.
Claims11
Process for preparing maltitol enriched products, said process comprising the successive steps:
- a) Obtaining syrup (A) containing at least 78% of maltose based on dry substance,
- b) Fractionating said syrup (A) chromatographically, wherein the process conditions of said fractionation are selected in order to obtain a fraction (B) rich in maltose, wherein said fraction (B) comprises at least 92% maltose based on dry substance of fraction (B),
- c) Hydrogenating catalytically fraction (B) to obtain a liquid maltitol enriched product (C),
- d) Increasing dry substance of liquid maltitol enriched product (C),
- e) Optionally solidifying or crystallizing said liquid maltitol enriched product (C).
