Substantiation of the application of shock-activator- disintegrant treatment in the technologies for obtaining syrups from starch-containing raw materials

Starch syrup is widely used in the national economy and approved to be safe for human health to use it in the food industry. In addition, starch syrup is used in feeding agricultural animals and poultry to supplement the readily accessible carbohydrates. The main technological stage upon the production of molasses and syrups is the catalytic conversion of starch into low molecular weight sugar. Mineral acids (hydrochloric) and enzymatic agents of amylases are used as catalysts. The use of hydrochloric acid has a number of disadvantages in terms of product purification of excipients and work safety. In addition, enzymatic hydrolysis allows to obtain the batch with less duty of water. The main drawback of such syrups is that the target product lacks biologically active substances, which include amino acids. One of the ways to obtain a syrup with other quality indicators is getting syrups from whole grains. Destruction of grain raw materials can be implemented by various methods: mechanical grinding, extrusion, cavitation, infrared irradiation and others. Percussion machines (disintegrators and dismembrators), ring cutters, finger shortening are also used for prehydrolysis processing of raw materials. The disruptors are among this number of units of particular interest. It is possible to achieve the preliminary mechanochemical activation of raw grain with the help of these installations. So the chemical structure of the grinding is subjected to profound changes, the starch and protein matrix are greatly destroyed, the high-molecular compounds are destructed. In the future this allows you to minimize the use of excipients such as enzymatic drugs, to reduce the temperature of the hydrolysis process upon receipt of the syrups.
