Designed for High Fructose Syrup Manufacturing
This glucose isomerase is produced through microbial fermentation, ultrafiltration, and immobilization processes to achieve high purity and stable catalytic performance. It can catalyze the conversion of glucose to fructose and also catalyze the conversion of xylose to xylulose in wood-sugar systems. The enzyme is suitable for both glucose isomerization and xylose isomerization, enabling the production of sweeteners with different functional properties and flavor profiles.
Key Features
- Highly efficient glucose → fructose conversion for increased fructose yield and improved sweetness.
- Wide process adaptability for different syrup systems and dry solid concentrations.
- Free-flowing dark brown granules with excellent handling properties and no caking.
- Compatible with both continuous and immobilized systems, supporting industrial-scale production.
Process Parameters
- Dry Substance (DS): 35–45%, with glucose content 93–97%
- Inlet pH and Temperature: pH 8.2 at 25°C; inlet temperature 61°C
- Reaction Conditions: 55–60°C, pH 7.5–7.8
- Magnesium Ion Requirement: Mg²⁺ acts as an activator; dosage depends on syrup purity.
When Mg²⁺ content in syrup is ≤1 ppm, additional Mg²⁺ is recommended (typical dosage around 45 ppm). - Conversion Efficiency: Each kilogram of immobilized glucose isomerase can produce
approximately 7–10 tons of fructose syrup.
Mode of Action
Glucose isomerase, also known as xylose isomerase, catalyzes the reversible structural conversion between alpha-D-glucose and beta-D-fructose. It can also catalyze the conversion of xylose to xylulose. In the food processing industry, the enzyme is mainly used to increase fructose content, producing sweeter fructose molecules for large-scale high fructose syrup manufacturing.
Product Appearance
- Dark brown, free-flowing granules
- Neutral odor, no off-smell
- Uniform particle size, easy to disperse and dose
Aplikasi
This enzyme is suitable for a wide range of sweetener and syrup production environments, including:
- High fructose syrup production
- Candy syrup, lollipop coating, and confectionery processing
- Chocolate fillings and sweet coatings
- Beverage sweetener bases
- Bakery sweetener formulations and food ingredient manufacturing
With its high catalytic performance and stable operation profile, food-grade glucose isomerase is an essential biocatalyst for syrup, confectionery, and beverage industries. The standard supply format is 1 kg/beg, convenient for R&D, pilot production, and industrial applications.
