The invention relates to the field of starch sugar manufacturing, in particular to a preparation method of syrup special for moon cake. According to the method, corn starch is taken as the raw material, and the syrup is prepared through the steps such as size mixing, enzyme immersion, liquefaction, saccharification, glucoside conversion, decolorization, filtering, ion exchange, concentration, blending and the like. The prepared syrup comprises 20-25% of maltobiose, 12-17% of maltotriose, 15-20% of maltotetraose, 8-12% of tetrasaccharide-above, 3-5% of oligoisomaltose, 25-30% of fructose, and less than 3% of glucose. The syrup special for moon cake produced through the method is sucrose-free; the sweetness is slightly lower than that of the sucrose; the sweet taste is mild and pure, cool and refreshing; and the syrup is provided with a sweet flavor peculiar to honey, and has the advantages that the oil return property is obvious, the moisture retention property is good, the starch retrogradation is prohibited, the shelf life and the quality guarantee period of products are effectively prolonged, and the like.
