Abstract
Saccharifying starch hydrolysate to a high DX glucose syrup at pH 3-5 by the enzyme mixture of a glucoamylase and an acidophilic iso-amylase. A lower dosage level than the heretofore conventional glucoamylase dosage may be employed and higher DX glucose syrups can be obtained.
Claims8
In a process for saccharifying a starch hydrolysate to a high DX glucose syrup with glucoamylase, the improvement which comprises saccharifying at pH 3-5 in the presence of an enzyme mixture comprising effective amounts of glucoamylase and an acidophilic isoamylase to convert the starch hydrolysate to at least about 96 DX glucose syrup, the glucoamylase dosage being in the range of 0.05-0.15 AG units per gram of dry substance in the hydrolysate.
