HYDROLYSIS OF CEREAL STARCHES USING PURIFIED LITTLE MILLET –AMYLASE

B. Usha, K. P. J. Hemalatha

Abstract :

The conversion of starch to value–added products by enzyme–catalyzed reactions represents the largest industrial use of enzyme molecules. The results in the present investigation show that little millet α–amylase has the ability to digest raw starch as well as pregelatinized starch. A very promising characteristic of this enzyme is that even at a very low concentration of starch, production of maltose was maximum reducing the demand of higher substrate volume. Starch degradation was greatly affected by temperature.
