Abstract
Abstract A method of making beta-limit dextrin containing starch products is disclosed. The method comprises first treating fully or partially gelatinized starch with beta-amylase until a DE of 5-30 is reached, thereafter completely gelatinizing the resulting product as far as necessary and treating the resulting solution with alpha-amylase for a short period of time so that, as a result of the treatment with alpha-amylase, the DE of the starch hydrolysate is increased by no more than 3 units.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
76 words
A method of making beta-limit dextrin containing starch products, characterized by first treating fully or partially gelatinized starch with beta-amylase until a DE of 5-30 is reached, whereafter the resulting product, as far as necessary, is completely gelatinized and the resulting solution is treated for a short period of time with alpha-amylase so that, as a result of the treatment with alpha-amylase, the DE of the starch hydrolysate is increased by no more than 3 units.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
76 words
A method of making beta-limit dextrin containing starch products, characterized by first treating fully or partially gelatinized starch with beta-amylase until a DE of 5-30 is reached, whereafter the resulting product, as far as necessary, is completely gelatinized and the resulting solution is treated for a short period of time with alpha-amylase so that, as a result of the treatment with alpha-amylase, the DE of the starch hydrolysate is increased by no more than 3 units.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
23 words
A method as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that beta-amylase is caused to act on a starch suspension of swollen starch granules.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
28 words
A method as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that beta-amylase is caused to act on a starch solution in which the starch has lost the granular form.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
18 words
A method as claimed in claim 1, characterized by drying the hydrolysate after the action of the alpha-amylase.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
33 words
A method as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that, after the hydrolysis with alpha-amylase, beta-amylase is again allowed to act on the hydrolysate until a DE of 25 to 45 is reached.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
33 words
A method as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that, after the hydrolysis with alpha-amylase, an amylose-rich precipitate is caused to form in the resulting solution, and the resulting precipitate is subsequently separated.
Claim 8
Independent Claim
18 words
A method as claimed in claims 1-6, characterized by drying the resulting solution of beta-limit dextrin and maltose.
Claim 9
Independent Claim
24 words
A method of making gum-like confections, characterized by using therein a beta-limit dextrin containing starch product produced in accordance with any of claims 1-7.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
11 words
Gum-like confections made by the method as claimed in claim 8.
