Maltose & Glucose Project Introduction
Starch milk adjustment: Starch milk adjustment is used to adjust the appropriate DS value. Also, the dry starch can be used after adding the water. The starch milk was adjusted with the exact DS value (DS=28%-32%). Then the starch milk goes to the next stage.
Liquefaction: jet cooker is used in the liquefaction process. Two times of ejection are needed for a better liquefaction effect. Then the material is sent to the flash tank for cooling. After cooling, the material goes to the next stage.
Saccharification: saccharification is used to reach desired DE value. The liquefied syrup was sent to the saccharification tank. Then the reaction is carried out with the aid of enzyme after a specific reaction time. The desired value is reached. After that, the syrup is sent to the flash tank for cooling and then to the next stage.
Filtration and decolorization: Glucose has protein and other impurities. Filtration removed the protein and others impurities from glucose. Then the material goes through a decolorization system to remove colored impurities. The activated carbon is used for the decolorization process. after decolorization, the activated carbon will be removed by the filter. Then the filtered glucose goes to the next section.
Continuous ion exchange: The filtered glucose has mixed impurities ions. Continuous ion exchange systems remove the mixed impurities ions from glucose. The ion exchange system is filled with cation and anion resin. The cation and anion attract the mixed impurities ions base on their chemical principle removed from the desired material. Then pure and high-quality glucose is obtained.
Evaporation: evaporator is used to concentrate on obtaining the desired DS value. The glucose is filtered through the safety filter and fed into the evaporator for concentration. After that, the desired DS value is obtained. Then the final product is obtained.
