The invention discloses a method for relieving
microbiological contamination in the saccharification process of malt syrup production, and belongs to the technical field of
starch sugar production. The method comprises the following steps: adjusting the pH value of
starch milk to 5.1-5.4, adding acid-resistant alpha-
amylase for spray
liquefaction, and then performing secondary spray
enzyme deactivation to obtain liquefied liquid; carrying out vacuum
flash evaporation on the liquefied liquid, cooling to 60.5-64.0 DEG C by using a
plate heat exchanger, adding the liquefied liquid and saccharifying
enzyme into a saccharifying tank, and saccharifying to obtain saccharified liquid; and finally, carrying out decoloration,
filtration,
ion exchange treatment and vacuum concentration on the saccharified liquid to obtain the malt syrup. According to the method, by selecting the acid-resistant
amylase and adjusting the initial pH and the saccharification temperature, bacterial
contamination in the saccharification process of
maltose production is remarkably relieved, so that the problem of bacterial
contamination in the saccharification process is solved, unstable saccharification quality caused by bacterial
contamination in the saccharification process is avoided, metabolites generated by bacterial contamination are reduced, the refining burden is relieved, and the saccharification quality is improved.
