Glucose syrup is a sweetening liquid which is made from the hydrolysis of starch in glucose syrup processing plant . Generally corn, rice, wheat , potato or cassava is used to make glucose syrup , because they are the rich source of starch. Glucose syrup produced from glucose syrup processing plant is mainly used for making candy or sweet food . Glucose syrup is also used in the manufacturing of beer.
The traditional method of processing glucose syrup in glucose syrup processing plant is making starch first , then use the starch to produce the glucose syrup. Now our company has new technology for the glucose syrup processing plant . We can produce glucose syrup from corn or rice directly , do not need making starch first.
Our company new technology for the glucose syrup processing plant is as below :
1. Corn / Rice powder making process in glucose syrup processing plant
After cleaning to separate the impurity,the corn or broken rice will be milled into powder form by dry milling method . After milling and sieving several times to get the required size corn / rice powder for producing the high quality glucose syrup .
2. Corn / Rice powder slurry making process in glucose syrup processing plant
Mixing the powder and water to get the right density slurry. Then add the amylase and keep on the temperature for particular time to make powder absorbing enough water .

3. Liquefaction process in glucose syrup processing plant
The liquefaction process is convert the starch which contented inside of the powder into liquid dextrin. The material will be cooked at high temperature by jet cooker . With the aid of amylase and steam , the starch will be converted into liquid dextrin quickly.
4. Deproteinization process in glucose syrup processing plant
The deproteinization process is separate the rice protein and other solid impurity from liquid dextrin by filter press.
The by product corn / rice protein ( feed grade) is top grade protein additives for making animal feed .

5. Saccharification process in glucose syrup processing plant
The saccharification process is convert the liquid dextrin into required DE value glucose syrup with the aid of gluco-amylase . The crude and yellow color glucose syrup can get after this process finish.
6. Decolorization process in glucose syrup processing plant
The decolorization process is removing the color of the glucose syrup by activated carbon to produce the colorless glucose syrup .
7. Decarburization process in glucose syrup processing plant
The decarburization process is separating the activated carbon from the glucose syrup by filter press .
8. Ion exchange process in glucose syrup processing plant
The Ion exchange process is using the special resin to remove the tiny foreign items and bad odor from glucose syrup to get high pure glucose syrup.

9. Evaporation process in glucose syrup processing plant
The evaporation process is remove the excess water from the glucose syrup to increase the DS of glucose syrup to the buyer requirement.
