It is apparent that in the USA a significant trend is underway in the sweetener field. An economic process has now been developed to commercially hydrolyze a starch slurry to D‐glucose with glucoamylase enzyme and to convert the D‐glucose to a mixture of approximately equal parts of D‐glucose and D‐fructose with isomerase enzyme. Apart from isomerase converted corn syrups, the other sugars derived from starch, such as corn syrups and sugars and crystalline dextrose as well as maltose, maltotriose and maltitol are important sweetners.
