Abstract
The present invention relates to a process for the simultaneous production of converted and non-converted sugar and/or non-sugar products. The process is especially adapted to the simultaneous production of isomaltulose and/or trehalulose, and betaine or invert sugar from plant derived juices. Sucrose in said juices are enzymatically converted into isomaltulose and trehalulose and the target products are separately recovered from the resulting solution. The isomaltulose may be further converted into isomalt.
Claims24
A process for the simultaneous production of converted sugar products of sucrose and other sugar or non-sugar products, said process comprising the following steps:
- a) providing an aqueous sugar beet or cane derived solution containing sucrose as well as said other sugar or non-sugar products;
- b) subjecting said sucrose in said solution to transglucosylation;
- and
- c) recovering from said transglucosylated solution at least one of isomaltulose or trehalulose and at least one of said other sugar or non-sugar products by a process including separate chromatographical recovery.
