  • Publication number: 20240279261
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method for preparing a high-purity arabinose crystal, comprising operations of dissolving, blending, ion exchange, decolorization and filtration, fine filtration, evaporation and concentration, crystallization, centrifugation, and drying performed in sequence on a low-purity arabinose crystal. Throughout the operations of preparing the arabinose crystal, a pH value of a material may be controlled between 4.3 and 7.5, and a temperature may not exceed 70° C. This prevents arabinose from transforming into impurities under a high temperature, thereby maintaining and improving a purity of the prepared arabinose crystal.

  • Publication number: 20230295557
    Abstract: The present invention provides a system for recovering protein in a production process of an ultrahigh maltose syrup, including a saccharification tank, an enzyme preparation tank, a first plate heat exchanger, a second plate heat exchanger, a plate and frame filter, a buffer tank and a rotary drum filter. The present invention further provides a method of recovering protein by using the system. After the sugar liquid in the saccharification tank is stood, the protein floats at the upper part of the saccharification tank and the lower liquid is clear and transparent and thus the sugar liquid can be directly filtered. When the saccharification tank is discharged, the lower liquid is firstly discharged with the remaining liquid being bottoms containing protein. During a production process, enzymatic hydrolysis is performed for the sugar liquid containing protein before filtration to improve the filtration effect of the sugar liquid. Assisted by the plate and frame filter, protein can be recovered.
