Glucose syrup clarification with a different form of activated charcoal

Abstract

Abstract Glucose produced by enzymatic hydrolysis still has a low purity level that is not meet the quality of glucose syrup as standardized by the Indonesian national standard (SNI). This study aimed to know the effect of the activated charcoal form on the purification of glucose syrup. The method used in this study is refining, in which 1% of activated charcoal was used (powder or granulated activated charcoal). Parameters observed were reducing sugar, sweetness level, and clarity level. The results obtained in this study indicate that glucose syrup refined with powder activated charcoal has a higher value in all parameters observed. The hypothesis that powder form of activated charcoal has a better absorbing capacity is accepted.
