  • METHOD FOR PROCESSING A STARCH HYDROLYSATE AND STARCH HYDROLYSATE
    Publication number: 20240365832
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for processing a starch hydrolysate, in which at least one legume species is provided. This is separated into a first fraction and a second fraction by a sift grinding process of the provided at least one legume species. Thereby, the first fraction comprises a higher protein content than the second fraction. In the second fraction, a proportion of the starch contained in the provided at least one legume species is at least 40% by weight. The second fraction is processed to produce a starch hydrolysate which, after hydrolysis, comprises a protein content in the range of 5% to 30% by weight.
