Abstract
A process for producing maltitol includes at least: producing a maltose syrup, by hydrolysis of a granular starch, in a first stage of liquefaction of granular starch to form a liquefied starch, followed by a stage of saccharification of the liquefied starch to which an aqueous solution of beta-amylase has been added, to form the maltose syrup; hydrogenating the maltose syrup to form an aqueous maltitol composition; and recovering the maltitol composition. The aqueous solution of beta-amylase also includes potassium sorbate, glycerol, and sodium carbonate.
