The use of Amylase and Dextranase enzymes to produce glucose from starch

The dual-enzyme method in sugar industry is a process of hydrolyzing starch into glucose using amylase and dextranase enzyme as catalysts. Because the fluids of saccharification contains protein, that normally use the wide-gap plate heat exchanger for heating and cooling process of saccharification.

The dual-enzyme method in sugar industry is a process of hydrolyzing starch into glucose using amylase and dextranase enzyme as catalysts. The starch hydrolysis is carried out in two steps: the first step is to liquefy the liquefied liquid with a high temperature resistant a-amylase; the second step is to further hydrolyze the liquefied liquid into glucose with a dextranase enzyme, so that the DE value reaches more than 98%.

The production process includes many steps: pulping measurement, saccharification + compound dextranase enzyme, enzyme decolorization + activated carbon, plate and frame filtration → old activated carbon discard, evaporation and concentration - glucose syrup, cooling crystallization, massecuite separation, sieving, inspection, weighing and packaging ,Product storage.

The following main process include Pretreatment for protein, Clarification and Crystallization.
