Sorgo is a kind of high photosynthetic efficiency C4 vegetable and one of the crops with the highest output of biography. It has a long planting history in China and can be planted massively in both southern and northern part of our country due to its strong resistance and excellent adaptability. Since the sweetness of high fructose syrup is higher than sucrose, the former is a perfect natural sweetener. Corn is the main raw material of high fructose syrup in China, and the producing process includes such steps like braising and cooking, glycosylation and isomerization. Since the price of corn is relatively high and the price of sucrose is low, the production cost is relatively high, which has a certain influence with its development. However, if crushing and squeezing the culms of Sorgo, the product includes mainly the sucrose and glucose with the sugar brix of 18%-28%. Because it neední»t such complex steps as adding water and size mixing, braising and cooking and glycosylation, applying this method in the production of high fructose syrup can predigest the producing technics, shorten the producing process, reduce the investment on facilities and reduce the producing cost, and thus this method has some practical value.
