Abstract
The invention provides a corn syrup, having a saccharide distribution having (i) a DP1+DP2 content of about 20 wt. % or less; and (ii) a DP60+ content of about 8 wt. % or less; relative to the total weight of saccharides. The invention further provides a method for preparing a corn syrup, said method comprising: a) Providing corn starch; b) Subjecting said corn starch to liquefaction to obtain a first hydrolysate; c) Subjecting said first hydrolysate to saccharification to obtain a second hydrolysate; d) Contacting said second hydrolysate with an alpha-amylase to obtain a third hydrolysate; and e) Processing the third hydrolysate to a corn syrup.
