Technical Memorandum on Glucose
The Second World War caused a shortage of sweeteners which brought about
a new leap ahead with the invention of the continuos glucose converter
by Karl Kroyer, Denmark. Members of The International Starch Group were
deeply involved in inventions and development ...
Karl Kroyer invented several advanced
processes for the conversion of starch into glucose and other downstream
products.
Technical Memorandum on Sorbitol. Mid 1950s,
sorbitol large scale manufacture began due to new applications, such
as humectant in cosmetology and sugar substitute in non cariogenic confectionery.
Sorbitol is today commercially produced from starch by enzymatic hydrolysis
and catalytic hydrogenation. It has wide applications as a sweetener
and humectant.

Properties of Glucose Syrup The
discovery of heat stable amylase allows a still wider DE range and even
more freedom in sugar spectrum. A syrup is no longer unequivocal designated
by the DE.
Properties of Fructose Syrup Fructose
replaces sucrose in canned fruit and fruit preserves together with 20-30%
maltose syrup ...
Falling Film Evaporator. A starch
hydrolysate is concentrated by evaporation in a falling film evaporator
- a strict thin film evaporator. The liquid completely covers the interior
surface of vertical tubes with a seething layer moving downwards ...
