Abstract

A process for purifying glucose polymers which consists in treating a low-calorie soluble glucose polymer: polyglucose, polydextrose or pyrodextrin, with a glucose oxidase and an anion exchanger in hydroxyl form. It enables largely colourless products having little or no bitterness, high viscosities and little hygroscopicity to be obtained. The products obtained may be used as sugar substitutes or fat substitutes.
