Production of high fructose syrup from starch

 　　High fructose syrup in specified concentrations has a caloric value and sweetness similar to sucrose (table sugar). As a natural sweetener it is popular as liquid alternative to sucrose in the soft drinks and confectionery industry.

　　High glucose syrup, which is the feedstock for HFS production, is obtained from common starch plants such as corn, wheat, rice and cassava.

　　Starting out from starch milk, we design and supply production lines covering all process steps from the starch conversion through to final enrichment of the syrup.

Process flow chart

　　Some of the glucose contained in high glucose syrup is converted to fructose and sold as HFS-42 or it is enriched to specified concentrations, such as HFS-55 and higher.

Product Application

　　Both HFS-42 and HFS-55 are commonly used in food, beverage and confectionery applications as in manufacturing the liquid product is easier to handle compared to crystalline sugar.

　　The extract from chromatographic separation can be marketed directly or processed further.

• 　　Typical applications are
• 　　Liquid sweetener with high fructose content
• 　　Manufacture of crystalline fructose
• 　　Intermediate product for biotechnological or catalytic processes which need very pure fructose (e. g. HFS-98)

Comprehensive Equipment for Starch Sugar Processing

　　HFS 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:
