Starch glucose syrup
Maltose syrup, also known as confectioner's glucose, is a syrup made from the hydrolysis of refined starch. Maize (corn) is commonly used as the source of the starch in the US, in which case the syrup is called "corn syrup", but maltose syrup is also can be produced from other kind refined starch , such as potato starch , wheat starch , sweet potato starch and cassava starch.
The original maltose syrups were manufactured by acid hydrolysis of corn starch at high temperature and pressure. But Higher DE syrups made by acid hydrolysis tend to have a bitter taste and a dark color. The modern advaced techonogy for making the good quality syrup is the double enzyme method for liquefaction and saccharification. Our company is supply the complete starch maltose syrup processing plant based on two enzyme technology.
Starch maltose syrup processing plant
Our company two enzyme technology for the starch maltose syrup processing plant is as below :
1. Starch power slurry making process
Mixing the starch and water to get the right density slurry. Then add the amylase and keep on the temperature for particular time to make starch powder absorbing enough water .

2. Liquefaction process
The liquefaction process is convert the starch into liquid dextrin. The material will be sprayed at high temperature by jet cooker . With the aid of amylase and steam , the starch will be converted into liquid dextrin quickly.

3. Saccharification process
The saccharification process is convert the liquid dextrin into required DE value maltose syrup with the aid of gluco-amylase in the tank . This process should be run under specific temperature for some hours . This process is get the crude and yellow color maltose syrup.

4. Decolorization process
The decolorization process is removing the color of the maltose syrup by activated carbon. The maltose syrup which reached required DE will be pumped from saccharification tank into the decolorization tank , mixed with activated carbon at proper temperature .
5.Decarburization process
The decarburization process is separating the activated carbon from the maltose syrup by filter press to get clear maltose syrup. The maltose syrup will flow into the slot and the transfer tank for next step. The activated carbon will be left.

6. Ion exchange process
The Ion exchange process is using the resin to remove the tiny foreign items and bad odor to get high quality pure maltose syrup. The resin need regeneration by acid and alkali washing after working for some days.

7. Evaporation process
The evaporation process is evaporate the water inside the maltose syrup to increase the DS of maltose syrup. Usually it need multi-effect evaporator work together with the single effect evaporator for producing high DS maltose syrup.
8. Final product storage
The maltose syrup which reach the required DS in the evaporation process will be pumped into final product storage tanks for storage.The final product tank can keep the maltose syrup purity before transportation.
