Abstract: A process for the production of saccharified starch products in which maltose is the predominant constituent characterized by subjecting a starch hydrolysate simultaneously or successively to the action of an enzyme(s) with a maltotriose-decomposing activity versus maltose-decomposing activity ratio of 2.5 or higher and which is obtained from higher plant and/or bacterial source and to the action(s) of a maltogenic enzyme(s), purifying, concentrating and recovering the resulting saccharified starch products.
