Maltitol Project Introduction
The dissolving tank receives the commercial starch, which is then dissolved by the addition of water. Then, by online detection and control, the starch milk's DS, PH value, and enzyme content are adjusted before entering the automatic liquefaction system. To achieve the optimum liquefaction effect, use two times of ejection and flashing while maintaining the proper temperature and timing. The syrup is then delivered to the saccharification system following liquefaction, PH adjustment, and enzyme addition. When the DE or DX value required by the end product is attained by regulating the amount of enzyme and saccharification time, the maltose enters the filtration stage to eliminate the less protein and other impurities intermingled in the product. Following filtration, the liquid maltose undergoes decolorization, filtering, and a continuous ion exchange system to remove colored impurities and impurity ions, enabling the maltose to fulfill its refining and purifying objectives. It enters the high pressure hydrogenation reactor for the hydrogenation reaction after being concentrated by the evaporator. A small amount of the catalyst added to the maltitol solution is filtered for re-use once the reaction is finished. Decolorization, filtration, and a continuous ion exchange system are used to remove the contaminants and ions from the maltitol solution so that it can be refined and purified. After concentration using an evaporator, the appropriate maltitol was obtained.
