Abstract

Sweetening agents are the most important of the many different ingredients used in the manufacture of the large variety of confectionery products. Among them, starch syrups (glucose) and dextrose occupy a position next only to sucrose. Both cereal and tuber starches are utilized in glucose and glucose syrup manufacture. For the hydrolysis of starch either acid or enzymes are used and the dual enzyme process gives a syrup of high Dextrose Equivalent and better quality. The actual production figures for liquid glucose, dextrose and anhydrous glucose powder, and of amylolytic enzymes, are only a small fraction of the licenced and installed capacity. It is necessary to impress upon the industry the advantages and superiority of the enzyme process and to help them to produce the required enzymes. With this objective, the CFTRI has developed processes for the production of amylolytic enzymes and their utilization.
