Abstract:
A method for producing an oligosaccharide syrup from a glucose-containing solution comprising:(a) reverse hydrolysis of a glucose-containing solution with glucoamylase at a temperature in the range of 50.degree. C. to 100.degree. C. to form a solution comprising monosaccharides, disaccharides, trisaccharides and higher saccharides,(b) nanofiltration of the solution at a temperature in the range of 60.degree. C. to 100.degree. C. to form the oligosaccharide syrup and a permeate, and(c) recovering the oligosaccharide syrup, wherein the ratio of disaccharide to the total dry substance in the syrup recovered is at least 40%.
