Continuous conversition of starch into standard glucose syrup by using an acid catalyst is still extensively used within the industry. By means of the acid conversition process glucose product with DE - values between 35 - 65 can be produced by a slight adjustment of the automatic acidification or temperature control. ( 1 degree change of conversition temperature means a change in DE of 1.5 ).
Following of conversition the product is continuously neutralized and passed trought various refining stages such as filtration, decolorization and in some case deionization, all dependent on the quality of the raw material and the requirements of the final product.
Refining is followed by continuous evaporation to the specified dry substance content of the final standard glucose syrup.
The acid conversition process is suitable for all kind of refined starches, defendent on whethter the starches originated from a cereal or a root ( tuber ).
This is mainly the case in the refining section, where it can be stated that a plant designed for handling starch from a cereal is also able to handle starch from a root, but not always the other way round.
