Abstract
A method for chromatographically separating a polydispersed saccharide composition, wherein said composition is fed into a chromatography column in a metastable state. A low molecular weight saccharide-free polydispersed saccharide composition and its use in foodstuffs or preparations for producing same, are also disclosed.
Claims22
Process for the chromatographic separation of a polydispersed composition of saccharides comprising
- dissolving said polydispersed composition into solution,
- forming a metastable solution by adjusting the temperature of said solution to a temperature less than the solubilization temperature without agglomerating,
- introducing said metastable solution into a chromatographic column and eluting and separating said composition into different fractions according to their degree of polymerization.
