Abstract
A method for producing a shelf stable, spreadable high viscosity maple syrup product is provided, which comprises adding a sucrose-cleaving enzyme to maple syrup and incubating the resulting solution. Also provided is a shelf stable, spreadable maple syrup product with a consistency similar to that of honey, which may be used as a spread, or sweetener or a topping. It is also suitable for use in pure maple-based products.
Claims28
A method for producing a shelf stable, spreadable maple syrup composition which comprises:
- a) adding a sucrose-cleaving enzyme to maple syrup;
- b) incubating the resulting maple syrup solution;
- and
- c) concentrating the resulting maple syrup solution.
A method for producing a shelf stable, spreadable maple syrup composition which comprises:
- a) diluting maple syrup to 55 degrees Brix,
- b) adding a sucrose-cleaving enzyme to the maple syrup;
- where the sucrose-cleaving enzyme is invertase,
- c) incubating the resulting maple syrup solution, and
- d) concentrating the resulting maple syrup solution.
A shelf stable, spreadable maple syrup composition having a Brix measurement of between about 75 and about 90 degrees, wherein the maple syrup composition is substantially free from crystallization for a period of at least 3 months.
A shelf stable, spreadable maple syrup composition having a Brix measurement of between about 77 and about 87 degrees, wherein the maple syrup composition is substantially free from crystallization for a period of at least 3 months.
A shelf stable, spreadable maple syrup composition, having a Brix measurement of between about 82 and about 85 degrees, wherein the maple syrup composition is substantially free from crystallization for a period of at least 3 months.
A shelf stable, spreadable maple syrup composition, having a Brix measurement of about 82 degrees. wherein the maple syrup composition is substantially free from crystallization for a period of at least 3 months.
