A process for preparing a high trehalose content product, comprising: (a) providing a solution containing maltose and trehalose; (b) allowing glucoamylase and/or alpha -glucosidase to act on the solution to hydrolyze said maltose into glucose; (c) subjecting the resulting mixture to ion-exchange column chromatography to remove glucose; and (d) recovering the resulting high trehalose content product. |
