Abstract:
     A starting material of which a first part is constituted by a starch hydrolysate, is subjected to a process comprising in combination: a catalytic hydrogenation step of the starting material; a chromatographic separation step of the starting material, which has undergone hydrogenation into a first fraction containing very pure sorbitol which is recovered, and into a second fraction containing, besides sorbitol, non-hydrogenated sugars as well as hydrogenated di- and polysaccharides; and an acid hydrolysis step of the abovesaid second fraction, which provides a partially hydrogenated starch hydrolysate.
