Publication number: 20170157532Abstract: The invention relates to a process for separating one or more carbohydrate from a composition wherein separating is done through radial chromatography. Preferably, the invention relates to a process for separating at least two carbohydrates from a composition wherein separating is done through radial chromatography, and wherein each of the at least two carbohydrates are collected in a purified form. The present invention relates to the use of radial chromatography for the separation of one or more carbohydrate from a composition and obtaining the one or more carbohydrate in a purified form.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 1, 2015Publication date: June 8, 2017Inventors: Frank Georges Hendrick DEREZ, Joost KETSMAN, Luigi NATALONI

Publication number: 20150322470Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for preparing solidified or crystalline maltitol. The process is comprising the successive steps of liquefaction of a starch milk and saccharification of the liquefied starch milk in the presence of alpha-amylase, beta-amylase and a debranching enzyme selected from the group of pullulanase, iso-amylase and mixtures thereof, preferably pullulanase and further adding maltogenic alpha-amylase and/or iso-amylase, for obtaining a maltose containing syrup comprising at least 85% maltose based on dry matter and less than 1.5% glucose based on dry matter, preferably less than 1% glucose based on dry matter, followed by molecular sieving of the maltose containing syrup to obtain a fraction (A) comprising at least 95% maltose based on dry substance of fraction (A), and further hydrogenating catalytically fraction (A) for obtaining a liquid maltitol enriched product (B).Type: ApplicationFiled: January 24, 2013Publication date: November 12, 2015Applicant: Cargill, IncorporatedInventors: Tiziano Furlan, Luigi Nataloni, Patrizia Tolomelli
