Fructose Syrup Production Solution
High Fructose Syrup (HFS), also known as isomerized syrup, is a type of starch sugar made from corn or wheat starch. Its production process involves two main steps: first, starch is hydrolyzed into glucose using enzymatic methods; then, glucose isomerase catalyzes the conversion of part of the glucose into fructose, resulting in a mixed syrup composed of fructose and glucose.
We provide a full set of services from design (process, civil, electrical), manufacturing, installation, commissioning to after-sales service; accurate 3D design, constructing 3D solid model, showing every detail of the project intuitively, accurately ; advanced automatic control system, ensuring the automatic and smooth operation of the entire production line.
Process Description
Starch
01
Liquefaction
Liquefaction
Refined starch milk from the starch workshop is metered and transferred to a mixing tank. After adjusting the concentration and pH, high-temperature-resistant amylase is added and mixed evenly. The mixture is then sent to a jet liquefier for liquefaction. After secondary liquefaction, the liquefied liquid undergoes enzyme deactivation and cooling before being transferred to the saccharification process.

Saccharification
Saccharification
The liquefied liquid is adjusted for pH, and saccharifying enzyme is added for saccharification. Once the DE value reaches the saccharification endpoint, the saccharified liquid is pumped to the decolorization process.

Filtration and Decolorization
Filtration and Decolorization
The hydrolyzed liquid after saccharification is sent to a fully automatic plate-and-frame filter press to remove proteins, fats, and insoluble substances. The filtered sugar residue can be used as feed, while the filtered sugar liquid is treated with renewable granular carbon to adsorb large-molecule soluble proteins and pigments.

Ion Exchange
Ion Exchange
The decolorized and filtered syrup is desalted using ion exchange resins. The syrup passes through cation and anion resins, reducing its conductivity to below 10 µS/cm. The syrup is then concentrated to the desired level using an evaporator, and the water from the evaporator’s condenser can be stored for washing the ion exchange resins.

Isomerization
Isomerization
After adjusting the pH of the glucose syrup to the parameters required for the activity and stability of the isomerase, the glucose syrup is fed into an isomerization reactor to produce 42% high fructose syrup (HFS 42).

06
Refining and Concentration
Refining and Concentration
The isomerized 42% fructose syrup undergoes further desalting through ion exchange. The desalted HFS 42 syrup is concentrated to 60% DS (dry solids) using an evaporator. The 60% DS HFS 42 syrup is then processed in a chromatographic separation system.

Chromatographic Separation
Chromatographic Separation
The fructose in the HFS 42 fructose solution is separated using chromatographic separation to obtain HFS 90 fructose syrup. HFS 55 fructose syrup is produced by blending HFS 90 fructose syrup with HFS 42 fructose syrup.

08
Refining and Concentration
Refining and Concentration
The HFS 55 fructose syrup undergoes further refining to produce HFS 55 fructose syrup with very low ash content. It is then evaporated to 77% DS (dry solids) using an evaporator to yield commercial F55 fructose syrup.
