3.2. HPLC chromatogram comparison between syrup and standard oligosaccharide of various DP
In order to indentify the material represented by the indicating HPLC peak of starch syrup, an HPLC chromatogram comparison was performed between starch syrup and several standard oligo- saccharides of various DP. Usually, syrup was produced through enzymatic conversion of starch, during which starch was firstly converted into polysaccharide segments of different DP. In the following, these polysaccharides were hydrolysed into oligosaccharides and finally into monosaccharide.
