About

This pilot screening manufacturing unit is specifically designed for the research, development, and initial production of rice starch syrup. It serves as a crucial intermediate step between laboratory-scale experimentation and full-scale industrial manufacturing. The unit allows for the precise control and optimization of various parameters involved in the enzymatic hydrolysis of rice starch, including temperature, pH, enzyme concentration, and reaction time. Its primary function is to screen different rice varieties and processing conditions to identify the most efficient and cost-effective methods for producing high-quality rice starch syrup. This includes evaluating syrup characteristics such as dextrose equivalent (DE), sugar profile, clarity, and stability. The data gathered from this unit is vital for scaling up production, ensuring product consistency, and validating process economics before significant investment in a commercial plant.
