Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of decolorization tanks, and in particular relates to an activated carbon decolorization tank for fructose syrup. Background Art

[0002] Fructose corn syrup is a syrup composed of fructose and glucose. It is an important sweetener that can increase the sweetness and viscosity of food. Therefore, it is widely used in food and beverages.

[0003] During the production process of fructose syrup, fructose syrup is generally decolorized to remove pigments and impurities in the syrup, improve its transparency and purity, and make it meet food quality standards. The existing decolorization process generally involves placing the fructose syrup in a decolorization tank, adding a certain amount of activated carbon, and stirring it so that the pigments and impurities in the syrup are adsorbed on the adsorbent, and then filtering out the syrup clear liquid through a filter. However, when decolorizing with a dehydration tank, activated carbon is added to the tank from the surface, so that the activated carbon is easily accumulated on the surface of the syrup, and there is very little activated carbon distributed at the bottom of the syrup, which will lead to uneven distribution of the activated carbon; in addition, when the tank body is rinsed, impurities such as syrup are easily attached to the tank wall, which is troublesome to clean.
