The invention relates to a method for producing a malt extract, comprising the following steps: a) providing a malt extract, b) treating the malt extract with amyloglucosidase in order to obtain a malt extract hydrolysate, c) treating the malt extract hydrolysate with glucose isomerase in order to obtain an isomerized malt extract hydrolysate, d) adding non-hydrolyzed malt extract, wherein the ratio of non-hydrolyzed malt extract to isomerized malt extract hydrolysate is in the range of 1:20 to 1:1, with respect to the dry substance portion, in order to obtain a partially hydrolyzed malt extract, e) at least partially removing water to a dry substance content of more than 68 wt %.
