Patent ID: 8785154

Claim:
A method for producing an aqueous glucose solution having a glucose content of at least 32% by weight from starch of wheat grains of Triticeae plants, comprising: a) fractionating dry milling of wheat grains of Triticeae plants to obtain a milled material, wherein the grains are separated into a starch-comprising endosperm fraction and a bran fraction, and wherein said milled material comprises essentially the starch-comprising endosperm fraction; b) converting the endosperm fraction milled material into an aqueous suspension, wherein the aqueous suspension comprises 30 to 55% by weight of starch based on total weight of the aqueous suspension; and c) enzymatically liquefying and enzymatically saccharifying the starch of the aqueous suspension to obtain an aqueous glucose solution, wherein the aqueous glucose solution has a glucose content of at least 32% by weight; and wherein gluten present in the endosperm fraction is depleted from the aqueous glucose solution obtained in step c) and/or from the aqueous suspension of the endosperm fraction before carrying out step c).
