Production of glucose syrup by direct saccharification from triticale withhigh autoamylolytic activity

It is possible to produce a glucose syrup from Triticale without addition o f enzymes. Starch was hydrolysed directly in the raw material with the aid of endogenous enzymes. On laboratory scale a hydrolysis and refining proced ure was developed and optimized. However, only raw material with high enzym e content is usable, which is recognizable at a falling number below 70. De spite the lower purity compared to commercial available products, the syrup can be utilized as a food ingredient. Problematical is the turbidity cause d by insufficient saccharized dextrins. In order to prevent it, further opt imization of the process is necessary. Experiments in the technical scale a re required to develop an industrial manufacturing method.
