Problems solved by technology

[0006] When trehalose crystals are prepared by cooling and crystallization, the crystals will adhere to the surface of the crystallizer to form a thick crystal layer, which affects the heat transfer and crystallization efficiency
At the same time, as the temperature decreases, the viscosity of the sugar solution increases, the heat and mass transfer efficiency further decreases, and crystallization becomes more and more difficult.
The crystal slurry is viscous, which is not conducive to the subsequent centrifugation
The crystallization efficiency is very low at low temperature, and as the density of the crystal slurry increases, it is easy to produce fine crystals, which is not conducive to controlling the particle size and shape of the crystals
The cooling and crystallization cycle is long, often takes more than 24 to 70 hours, and the yield is low, which is not conducive to industrial production

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for preparing trehalose crystals. A trehalose aqueous solution is subjected to vacuum evaporation and concentration, trehalose seed crystals are added, the temperature is controlled, simultaneously an elution agent is added in a flowing mode to enable the supersaturation degree of the solution to be maintained in a low level, and the temperature is reduced gradually to achieve crystallization. The trehalose crystals are produced by means of an elution-cooling coupling crystallization method, and the crystallization yield of trehalose is improved. Fine crystals are prevented from being produced in the crystallization process, and obtained products are even in fineness distribution and high in purity. Compared with traditional coupling crystallization, a crystallization period is shortened, the crystallization yield is improved, and convenience is further provided for follow-up centrifugal separation. The novel method for preparing the trehalose crystals has large application potential in the field of functional sugar crystallization production.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of functional sugar production, and relates to a method for preparing trehalose crystals, in particular to a method for producing trehalose crystals by coupling dissolution and cooling. Background technique [0002] Trehalose is a non-reducing disaccharide composed of two glucose molecules connected by α,α-1,1-glycosidic bonds. It widely exists in microorganisms, shrimps, insects and plants. Trehalose has a good non-specific protective effect on organisms, biological macromolecules, and biofilms, making cells immune to damage caused by environmental changes such as dehydration and hyperosmotic changes, so it is known as the "sugar of life". In addition, trehalose has the characteristics of stable properties, low sweetness, slow human absorption and no caries formation. Therefore, trehalose is widely used in food, medicine, fine chemicals and other fields. [0003] Trehalose is very soluble in water, insolu...
