Fructose mono- and polycaprylate purification by molecular distillation

  • Published:
Biotechnology Techniques

Abstract

A mixture of free caprylic acid and fructose caprylates obtained by biocatalysis was separated by molecular distillation (short path distillation). The optimum temperature and pressure (60°C and 0.1 μbar) take account of the heat-sensitivity of these compounds.
