Refining. After saccharification, the hydrolyzate is clarified by precoat filtration, or possibly membrane filtration, to remove traces of insoluble fat, protein, and starch. Treatment with powdered carbon, granular carbon, and/or ion-exchange resins is then used to remove residual trace impurities, color, and inorganic constituents. The refined hydrolyzate can be dried to a solid product, evaporated to a high dextrose syrup, or processed to crystalline monohydrate or anhydrous dextrose. A typical process for production of crystalline dextrose is shown in Figure 2(7). 

Starch, a polysaccharide, is naturally found in a semicrystalline state and aqueous acids can be employed to hydrolyze the amorphous section with the consequent release of the crystalline sections resulting in individual monocrystalline nanoparticles. The particles obtained display platelets or granular form [1]. They consist of crystalline nanoplatelets about 6-8 nm thick with a length of 20-40 nm and a width of 15-30 nm. Piyada et al.
