Starch Syrup Making Plant

Abstract

The use of starch can roughly be classified into two, one is to apply hydrolytic reaction and the other is to use starch as it is. Starch is hydrolyzed into either glucose, a constituent unit, or dextrin composed of several pieces of glucose; and in the latter case the kind of starch does not exert great influence. Nevertheless, existence of much protein poses such problems that the refining of syrup becomes difficult or fatty acid must be removed. What particularly plays an important role in the starch hydrolyzing industry is the price of raw material. Therefore, the starch hydrolyzing industry generally uses the potato starch, whose price is relatively low.
