Abstract
The invention relates to a method of manufacturing a maltose-rich syrup, comprising the successive stages consisting of: (a) carrying out a liquefaction of a starch milk; (b) carrying out a saccharification of the liquefied starch milk in the presence of a maltogenic α-amylase; (c) continuing the saccharification of the liquefied starch milk in the presence of a β-amylase and at least one debranching enzyme chosen from the group consisting of pullulanases and isoamylases with a view to obtaining a syrup which is rich in maltose.
Claims10
Method of manufacturing a maltose-rich syrup having a maltose content greater than 87%, consisting of the successive stages of:
- (a) carrying out a liquefaction of a starch milk using an α-amylase;
- (b) inhibiting the action of the α-amylase;
- (c) first carrying out a saccharification of the liquefied starch milk in the presence of a maltogenic α-amylase until the maltose content reaches or exceeds 75%;
- (d) then continuing the saccharification in the presence of a β-amylase and at least one debranching enzyme selected from the group consisting of pullulanases and isoamylases, so as to obtain a syrup having a maltose content greater than 87%.
