Abstract:
A mixture of derivatized malto-oligosaccharide species prepared by a method comprising the steps of:providing a mixture of a plurality of malto-oligosaccharide species; catalytically hydrogenating said mixture under hydrogenation conditions suitable to substantially preserve the DP profile of said mixture to thereby obtain a hydrogenated malto-oligosaccharide mixture, wherein (i) at least 80% of the malto-oligosaccharide species in the mixture has a DP greater than 5, and (ii) said mixture is hydrogenated to a DE of essentially zero; and derivatizing said hydrogenated malto-oligosaccharide mixture to thereby form said derivatized malto-oligosaccharide mixture.
