Abstract:
1. A method for decontaminating starch hydrolysates from which glucose polymers for producing peritoneal dialysis solutions will be prepared, said method comprising: a) preparing a starch hydrolysate, b) filtering said starch hydrolysate so as to remove any contaminant having the size of a yeast, mold or bacterium, c) treating said starch hydrolysate so as to remove any contaminant having the minimum size of 50 Angstroms by means of a technique selected from the group consisting of activated carbon of “mesopore” type, activated carbon of “micropore” type, frontal microfiltration and tangential ultrafiltration, d) treating the resulting starch hydrolysate on activated carbon with a high adsorption capacity, and e) collecting the decontaminated starch hydrolysate.
