Large scale preparation of selected glucose oligomers and polymers by gel filtration chromatography. 1984

H R Sloan, and B Kerzner, and C Seckel

A method for isolating relatively large quantities of glucose oligomer and polymer subfractions from a corn starch hydrolysate is described. Employing large columns of Bio-Gel P-2 (40-80 microns) at room temperature, we can prepare each day 0.5 to 1.2 grams of oligomeric fractions containing three to four adjacent homologues. The columns are homemade, require no flow adapters, and are operated by gravity elution with water as the solvent. The means for avoiding and overcoming potential difficulties, such as microbial contamination and declining flow rate, are described. With the use of the described method, we can operate a single column continuously for up to twelve months.
