Abstract

See full text

Disclosed is a method for hydrolyzing starch. The starch is subjected to hydrolysis in the presence of a neutral calcium salt, the hydrolysis being conducted at a pH ranging from about 5.0 to about 5.5. The calcium salt may be a non-toxic and label-friendly salt such as calcium sulfate, calcium chloride or calcium phosphate, preferably naturally existing salts. The enzymatically catalyzed hydrolysis may be quenched using an organic acid, such as citric acid, preferably an acid that exists in nature, or with heat. Certain processing and product quality advantages may be realized via the disclosed method. The method may provide a variety of hydrolyzed products, including maltodextrins, syrup solids, and the like.
