WILMINGTON, DEL. — Customer questions surrounding separations involving sugars and sweeteners such as allulose, tagatose, sorbitol, oligosaccharides, xylose and inositol have prompted DuPont to launch the DuPont Sugar Separation Advisor.
DuPont said it designed the digital tool to help sugar and sweetener manufacturers evaluate chromatographic separation potential and identify candidate DuPont AmberLite resins for further testing.
The tool, available through DuPont’s Resource Center Premium, also provides users with a way to recover and purify target sugars and sweeteners from complex feed streams.
Users of the DuPont Sugar Separation Advisor select the sugar or sweetener they want to recover or purify and can add up to four additional sugars or impurities to represent their feed stream. The tool then generates a predicted chromatogram based on experimental separation data, DuPont said.
The tool takes the information entered and provides a qualitative separation assessment and suggests candidate DuPont AmberLite chromatography resins for users to look into.
The portfolio includes resin options for applications involving high-fructose corn syrup, beet sugar, dextrose enrichment, oligosaccharides, polysaccharides, high-purity sugars, polyols and rare sugars.
“Selecting the right resin is an important early step in developing an effective sugar separation process,” said Shane Kendra, global market leader for Food and Beverage and Healthcare, DuPont Water Solutions. “The DuPont Sugar Separation Advisor makes our chromatography knowledge and laboratory data easier to access, helping customers focus testing on our most promising resin candidates and have more productive conversations with our technical experts.”
