Glucose Production from Starch

 　　Glucose, also known as dextrose, is a natural sweetener, which is obtained from starch containing plants such as corn, wheat, rice and cassava.

　　As a liquid intermediate product, glucose syrup serves as a feedstock for fermentation processes and it can be further processed to gain sorbitol or fructose. Crystallization of glucose syrup produces dextrose anhydrate or monohydrate, which are used in foodstuff as a sweetening agent, and in medical applications.

　　Starting out from starch milk, we design and supply plants for the production of liquid and crystalline types of glucose.

Process flow chart

　　Starch is processed into glucose, a high DE (dextrose equivalent) starch sugar, that can be further processed into other types of starch sugar and to biobased chemicals.

Comprehensive Equipment for Starch Sugar Processing

　　Glucose is only one of many compounds in the starch sweetener and fermentation business.

　　Besides starch milk and sweeteners, grain processing facilities additionally can include the production of a whole range of valuable products and by-products such as

• 　　Dry native starch
• 　　Dry protein fraction (gluten)
• 　　Germ fraction
• 　　Dried and pelletized animal fodder
• 　　Modified starch and other upgraded starch products
• 　　Fermentation products

　　We understand the interaction among substrate, bioconversion, recovery and purification and can assist you in developing your complete grain-processing project, from raw material selection through to the final product range. Contact us for:

• 　　Pre-engineering and feasibility studies including comparison of different product scenarios
• 　　Determination of the most suitable technical solutions and equipment for drying, filtration, evaporation, ...
