What is liquid glucose syrup ?                                                                      

Glucose syrup also known as confectioner's glucose, is a syrup made from the hydrolysis of starch. Glucose also is called starch sugar. Maize (corn) is commonly used as the source of the starch to produce glucose, in which case the syrup is called "corn syrup", but glucose syrup is also can be produced from cassava, potato , wheat , rice and other starch source material.

How to produce liquid glucose syrup ?                                                           

As we all known , the glucose syrup is made from the starch (mainly is the corn starch ) . But  now we have the new technoligy , we can produce the glucose syrup from corn  directly . 

 Process Description of starch syrup processing line:

Corn starch or rice powder making section

First make the corn starch/rice powder from corn / broken rice .  The corn starch/ rice pwoder is used to produce the glucose syrup . 

Mixing slurry 

Put the corn powder/rice powder and water  into the mixing tank, then put in enzyme, keep on particular standard temperature, waiting for some time , then transport to next work section. 

Injector liquefaction 

 The mixed corn powder / rice pwoder milk is sent to buffer tank then liquefied by jet cooker with the aid of enzyme at high temperature  in regular time . 

 Filter press deproteinization 

Because of inside of the corn / rice slurry have too much protein, so the slurry need pumping into the press filter, after press the slurry,  the syrup will flow into the slot, the protein will stay inside the filter machine.

Saccharification  

The liquefied material is sent to enzyme saccharification tank for reaction.   Maintain at specific temperature for some time , the syrup will transfer to glucose syrup with  the required DE value . 

Decolorization

 After LAB testing, all the glucose syrup pumping into the decoloration tanks, at uniform temperature,  put in the activated carbon mixing with the glucose syrup, usually have to make twice to get pure glucose syrup.

Filter press decarburization 

 The glucose syrup with activated carbon will be pumped into the press filter, after press the clean glucose syrup will flow into the buffer tank, the activated carbon will stay inside the filter.

Ion exchange

 The clean glucose syrup pumping into the ion exchange columns, inside the column resin will attract all the cation and anion and other small electron, then will get very pure glucose syrup for people eating.  This equipment always is used for high quality product.

 Evaporation 

The pure and clean glucose syrup have very low density, the triple effect evaporator can evaporate frucotse inside water to outside increase density at very short time. Then pump the glucose  syrup into the single-concentrate of evaporator continue evaporate water  for concentrating to reach the required DS as final product.
