Allulose Composition With Dissolved Oxygen ≤8 ppm for Stable Storage
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Allulose compositions degrade over time due to conversion into different substances and decomposition, leading to a reduction in allulose content, pH changes, and color changes during storage.
Innovation Solution
Control the dissolved oxygen concentration in allulose compositions to 8 ppm or less to maintain stability, using methods such as deoxidants, inert gas substitution, vacuum deaeration, and selective packaging to minimize oxygen exposure.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Duration of action of stationary object
If allulose syrup is stored for a long period of time, then the allulose content is gradually reduced due to conversion into different substances and decomposition, but the storage duration is extended
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies inert atmosphere by controlling dissolved oxygen concentration to 8 ppm or less in allulose syrup through deoxidation treatment. This creates an oxygen-deficient environment that prevents oxidative decomposition and conversion of allulose into other substances, thereby maintaining allulose content stability during long-term storage while extending effective storage duration
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the physical-chemical parameter of dissolved oxygen concentration from typical levels to 8 ppm or less through deoxidation treatment. This parameter change fundamentally alters the storage stability characteristics of allulose syrup, preventing decomposition reactions and maintaining allulose content over extended storage periods
2Duration of action of stationary object
If allulose syrup is stored for a long period of time, then pH changes occur due to decomposition, but the storage duration is extended
Solution Approach 1:
By controlling dissolved oxygen concentration to 8 ppm or less through deoxidation treatment, the patent creates an inert environment that prevents oxidative reactions causing pH changes. This maintains pH stability throughout extended storage periods, allowing long-term storage without composition degradation
Solution Approach 2:
The deoxidation treatment fundamentally changes the dissolved oxygen parameter to 8 ppm or less, which prevents the chemical reactions that would otherwise cause pH drift during storage. This parameter control ensures pH stability is maintained throughout the extended storage duration
3Duration of action of stationary object
If allulose syrup is stored for a long period of time, then color changes occur due to decomposition, but the storage duration is extended
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies inert atmosphere by reducing dissolved oxygen to 8 ppm or less, creating conditions that prevent oxidative browning and color-changing reactions. This maintains color stability during long-term storage while extending the effective shelf life of the allulose syrup
Solution Approach 2:
By fundamentally changing the dissolved oxygen concentration parameter to 8 ppm or less through deoxidation, the patent prevents the chemical pathways leading to color changes and decomposition, thereby maintaining visual quality and composition stability throughout extended storage periods
