Starch & Sweetener Technology

The industrial production of sweeteners from starch began shortly after World War II, when the Danish inventor Karl Krøyer developed the world's first continuous starch hydrolysis converter. This groundbreaking innovation laid the foundation for the modern starch sweetener industry.

Building on Karl Krøyer's pioneering work, DSSE has continued to advance sweetener technology for more than 60 years. With extensive experience in process development, engineering, plant design, construction, commissioning, and maintenance, DSSE delivers reliable and efficient sweetener production solutions to customers around the world.

By combining state-of-the-art enzyme technology with advanced computer-controlled process systems, DSSE enables the production of tailor-made sweetener products. Glucose syrups can be manufactured with precisely controlled Dextrose Equivalent (DE) values, allowing customers to achieve the exact carbohydrate composition required for their specific applications.

Every DSSE plant is designed to maximize raw material utilization while minimizing energy consumption and operating costs. Environmental responsibility is an integral part of every project, with continuous efforts to reduce wastewater generation, process effluents, and the overall environmental footprint.

DSSE's proven technology and expertise make it possible to produce a wide range of starch-based sweeteners from various raw materials, including:

• Corn
• Wheat
• Rice
• Tapioca
• Sorghum

Whether supplying complete greenfield plants, process upgrades, or specialized equipment, DSSE provides innovative, efficient, and sustainable solutions for the global sweetener industry.
