High-maltose corn syrup is a food additive used as a sweetener and preservative.The majority sugar is maltose.It is less sweet than high-fructose corn syrup and contains little to no fructose.It is sweet enough to be useful as a sweetener in commercial food production.To be given the label "high",the syrup must contain at least 50% maltose.Typically,it contains 40–50% maltose,though some have as high as 70%.

Maltose corn syrup processing equipment

Old maltose corn syrup processing technology is use corn to make starch firstly,and then use corn starch to process maltose corn syrup.

Below is the technology of maltose corn syrup processing.
 

Maltose corn syrup processing equipment

(1) Corn to make corn flour firstly.

(2) Corn flour milk adjustment: adding a certain amount of water in the corn flour to achieve the above conditions then go to the next section.

(3) Liquefaction: corn flour milk is sent to buffer tank then liquefied by jet cooker with the aid of enzyme.

(4) Deproteinization: use the filter press to separate the corn protein

(5) Saccharification: The liquefied material keeps reaction for a certain time under the action of enzyme.The required DE value of the glucose will be produced.Then the material is sent to the enzyme killer to kill the enzyme.

(6) Filtration and decolorization: Glucose gets through the filter to remove protein and other impurities,then at the appropriate temperature passes by active carbon to decoloring, finally send to filters to remove activated carbon and send to the next section.

(7) Evaporation: The glucose is totally cleaned through safety filter machine then sent to evaporator for concentrating to reach the required DS as final product.

High fructose corn syrup production

For the smaller capacity,we match the single-effect eveporator;for the larger capacity,we match the triple-effect eveporator.
