Process for preparing hydrolysed starch with reduced sugar content

A method for producing a food product comprising hydrolysed starch, the method comprising the steps of:

• a) providing a starting material which comprises both starch and at least one amylolytic enzyme;
• b) providing as ingredients:
• water, and at least one further amylolytic enzyme;
• c) mixing the starting material of step a) and the ingredients of step b);
• d) adjusting the temperature of the mixture of step c) to a temperature which leads to gelatinization of the starch in the mixture and inactivation of the at least one amylolytic enzyme which was provided with the starting material in a);
• e) simultaneously to step d), subjecting the mixture of step c) to high shear mixing;
• and
• f) incubating the mixture of step e) such that the desired degree of hydrolysis is achieved,
• thereby obtaining a food product comprising hydrolysed starch.
