Abstract
Abstract The present invention provides a process for preparing low D.E. starch hydrolysates and low D.E. conversion syrup products which are both liquid and solid. Starch is treated with bacterial alpha amylase to a D.E. less than 15. The hydrolytic action of the amylase is terminated by heat treatment and the resulting hydrolysate is further converted with bacterial alpha amylase to a D.E. between about 5 and about 20. From the resulting hydrolysate product is obtained a non-hazing syrup which is substantially completely water soluble.

Total Claims: 19
Claim 1
Independent Claim
93 words
A PROCESS FOR PRODUCING A NON-WAXY STARCH HYDROLYSATE WHICH COMPRISES TREATING AN AQUEOUS SLURRY OF A NON-WAXY CERAL STARCH WITH BACTERIAL ALPHA-AMULASE AT A TEMPERATURE BELOW 95*C TO LIQUEFY THE STARCH AND TO PROVIDE A STARCH HYDROLYSATE HAVING A D.E. WITHIN THE RANGE OF ABOUT 2 TO ABOUT 15, HEATING THE LIQUEFIED STARCH HYDROLYSATE TO A TEMPERATURE OF AT LEAST ABOUT 95* AND TREATING THE LIQUEFIED STARCH HYDROLYSATE WITH BACTERIAL ALPHA-AMYLASE AT A TEMPERATURE BELOW 85*C TO PRODUCE A STARCH HYDROLYSATE HAVING A D.E. WITHIN THE RANGE OF ABOUT 5 TO ABOUT 20.
