How to make corn flour syrup

 Corn flour syrup is a food syrup which is made from the starch of corn (called maize in some countries) and contains varying amounts of maltose and higher oligosaccharides, depending on the grade. Corn flour syrup, also known as glucose syrup to confectioners, is used in foods to soften texture, add volume, prevent crystallization of sugar, and enhance flavor.

According to the traditional technology , produce the corn syrup need make corn starch from corn first , then use the corn starch to produce the corn syrup. But now , our company has new technology we just need making corn flour from corn first, then use the corn flour to produce the corn syrup.

How to make corn flour syrup 

Making corn flour syrup fist step is making corn flour from corn by dry milling method (different with the corn starch wet milling method) . Then use the corn flour to produce the corn syrup . 

The production process of Make corn flour syrup as below   :

1). Corn flour production process : 

When making corn flour with dry milling method ,first cleaning the corn , then separate the corn germ from corn , then mill the corn meal to required size corn flour .

2) Mixing process:  

Mix corn flour with water  to make corn flour slurry and control a proper value of PH and temperature. To wait the corn flour to absorb enough water. 

3). Liquefaction process: 

Corn flour slurry is sent to buffer tank then liquefied by jet cooker with the aid of enzyme and steam. 

4). Deproteinization process: 

Because the syrup is only produce from starch , the impurity  inside of Corn flour slurry (mainly is the corn protein) will be removed . Of course , you can get the good quality by product corn protein cake for making high grade animal feed. After separation , the liquid material (syrup) will be pump to next process. 

5)Saccharification process : 

The liquefied material keeps reaction for a certain time under the action of enzyme. The required DE value of the glucose will be produced. 

6)Decolorization process : 

Use the activated carbon to remove the color of the corn flour syrup . Then press out the carbon from corn flour syrup . For getting more clear corn flour syrup , it usually need make two times . 

7)Ion exchange process : 

Ion exchange machine will attract all the cation and anion and other small electron, then will get very pure corn starch syrup for people eating.

8)Evaporate process :  

The evaporator will take out the excess water inside of the corn flour syrup  to increase the corn flour syrup density to reach the buyer requirement . 

Making the corn syrup from corn flour has more advantage than from corn starch.  Such as Non pollution problem , few waste water discharge ,  lower machine cost , lower consumption , more by products  and so on .

Our company can supply the complete set corn syrup production machine.  It is full automatic from corn flour production until final product storage process.
