A method of producing oligosaccharide syrups, a system for producing the same and oligosaccharide syrups

摘要

The present invention relates to a method of producing oligosaccharide syrups, in particular to the production of syrups having a high concentration of saccharides with a degree of polymerization of at least 2, comprising the steps of: enzymatic reaction of a substrate at a temperature in the range of 50° C. to 100° C. obtaining a saccharide solution comprising monosaccharides and disaccharides, trisaccharides and higher saccharides; nanofiltration of the saccharide solution at a temperature in the range of 60° C. to 100° C. obtaining a syrup essentially comprising disaccharides, trisaccharides and higher saccharides; recovering said syrup; optionally recycling the permeate resulting from the nanofiltration step to the enzymatic reaction.
