How to make glucose syrup from tapioca starch?

2018-03-26 /

Glucose syrup is made from starch by the catalytic hydrolysis of enzymes. Tapioca with a high content of starch, and glucose syrup is the main product of tapioca starch deep processing. Doing company offer complete set of equipments make glucose syrup from tapioca starch. Also the technology transfer of how to make glucose syrup from tapioca starch.

Following is the general sequence of how to make glucose syrup from tapioca starch:
Mixing tapioca starch with water to get a suitable PH value-Liquefaction process-Glucose syrup liquid decolorization-Filtering to get bright and pure glucose syrup-Twice ion exchange process-Final glucose syrup.

Glucose syrup from tapioca starch

Next is the detail introduction of the glucose syrup from tapioca starch making process:

1. Tapioca starch quality check and transfer:
Good raw material decide the quality of final glucose starch, the tapioca starch water content should be less than 14%, and starch must be not weird. After checking, transfer the tapioca starch to mixing tank.

2. Mixing process: Add water and tapioca starch to mixing tank after the proportion adjusted. PH value adjusted to 5.6-6.0.

3. Liquefaction process: Put the α-enzyme into liquid, and deliver the liquid to jet cooker with 100-108℃ steam temperature. We can get liquid glucose syrup.

4. Protein in tapioca starch filtering process:
This time the glucose syrup liquid still have many protein contain, so we should use plate frame filter press machine to remove the protein. Then the separated proteins can be washed, dried and crushed, finally get animal feed. This increase the add-value of your plant.

5. Saccharification process:
This process should use the saccharifying tank, adjust the liquid temperature to 60℃, PH value 4.2-4.8, put saccharify enzyme, then keep 36-50 hours. This process completed.

6. Decoloring section:
Adding activated carbon to the liquid, this part time need 0.5 ~ 1 hour, then send the liquid to plate frame filter press machine for decoloring. After this section, get bright and pure glucose syrup liquid.

7. Ion exchange: We have professional ion exchange column, when the liquid temperature is decreased about 42℃, delivery to ion exchange column. The conductivity value of the final liquid is less than 20ppm.

8. Concentration section:
Also called glucose syrup evaporation process,
In this section, evaporator usually used three-effect type.

9. Full stainless steel glucose syrup storage tank. This storage tank can keep the glucose syrup quality, easy for following delivery and packing.
