Problems solved by technology

[0005] (1) The gelatinization is not complete. After many starchy raw material particles with larger particle sizes absorb water and swell, only the surface is hydrolyzed by starch. The crystalline region swells, and the inner crystalline region is difficult to achieve gelatinization
[0006] (2) The liquefaction is n

preparation example Construction

[0037]The present invention also provides a method for preparing citric acid. The method includes treating the starchy raw material according to the above method to obtain an enzymatic hydrolysis product, and fermenting the enzymatic hydrolysis product in the presence of Aspergillus niger. Preferably, the enzymatic hydrolysis product is used as a fermentation broth, sterilized at 80-90°C for 15-30 minutes, and after cooling down to 36-38°C, Aspergillus niger is inoculated into the fermentation broth for fermentation.

[0038] Since the preparation method of citric acid provided by the present invention mainly involves the improvement of the processing method of starchy raw materials before fermentation, there is no special limitation on the fermentation process, which can be the same as the prior art. For example, the type and amount of Aspergillus niger and the conditions of fermentation can be carried out with reference to the prior art, and the present invention will not rep...

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for treating a starchy raw material and a method for preparing citric acid. The method for treating the starchy raw material comprises the following steps of: mixing powder of the starchy raw material and water to obtain farinaceous size, and mixing the farinaceous size and first part amylase to obtain a mixture; performing primary injection on the mixture by using first steam at the temperature of between 80 and 100 DEG C to obtain primary emulsion, and performing secondary injection on the primary emulsion by using second steam at the temperature of between120 and 150 DEG C to obtain secondary emulsion; performing flash evaporation and reducing the temperature; and mixing a product obtained through flash evaporation and temperature reduction and secondpart amylase, and performing enzymolysis. By the method, a dextrose equivalent (DE) value can be reduced, and the fermentation period of the citric acid can be shortened.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for processing starchy raw materials and a method for preparing citric acid. Background technique [0002] Citric acid is an organic acid widely used in industries such as beverage, food and medicine. At present, citric acid is mainly prepared by fermentation. Generally, the starchy raw material is first pulverized, and the pulverized product is mixed with water to obtain a starch slurry, and the starch slurry is mixed with an enzyme for enzymolysis to obtain an enzymatic hydrolysis product (enzymolysis liquefaction solution) , and inoculate Aspergillus niger into the fermentation broth containing the enzymatic hydrolysis product to ferment to produce citric acid. [0003] In the above process, the enzymatic hydrolysis (liquefaction) of starchy raw materials has a greater impact on the fermentation cycle of citric acid. The current enzymatic hydrolysis (liquefaction) process of starchy raw materials mostly adopts the...
