Abstract
The invention relates to a process for preparing a crystalline &agr; anhydrous dextrose from a starch hydrolysate, characterized in that a starch hydrolysate is prepared, said starch hydrolysate is nanofiltered over membranes in a manner such as to obtain a nanofiltration permeate constituting a syrup with a high glucose content and a nanofiltration retentate, said syrup enriched in glucose is concentrated to a dry matter content of at least 70 wt. % of glucose and at a temperature in the range 50° C. to 110° C., said concentrated syrup is crystallized by evaporation and agitation in such a manner as to obtain a crystalline mass containing at least 30 wt. % of crystals and the crystals of &agr; anhydrous dextrose thus obtained are separated, recovered and dried.
