Abstract
In the method raw starch is treated with the amylase with the enzyme classification EC 3.21.133 below the gelatinization temperature, whereafter the maltose and the limit dextrin are recovered. The method is simple and cheap and gives rise to a maltose of high purity and to a cheap limit dextrin useable as a fat replacer in foods.
