Patent ID: 8715755

Claim:
A method for making any of a food additive, a flour, or an oral rehydration solution containing an isomalto-oligosaccharide grain composition, said method comprising: (a) contacting a ungelatinized grain containing a starch with a maltogenic enzyme and a starch liquefying enzyme to produce maltose; (b) contacting said maltose with a transglucosidic enzyme, wherein said steps (a) and step (b) occur at a temperature less than or at a starch gelatinization temperature; and (c) obtaining a grain composition having an enzymatically produced isomalto oligosaccharide, wherein said oligosaccharide is derived from said grain; and, (d) adding the grain composition to a food additive, a flour, or an oral rehydration solution to make any of the food additive, the flour, or the oral rehydration solution containing the isomalto-oligosaccharide composition.
