Glucoamylase Enzyme: The Secret to Efficient Starch Processing

This enzyme breaks down large starch molecules to yield simple sugars such as glucose, hence an extremely important biocatalyst for the commercial processes of industries involving food and beverages, ethanol and bio-fuel production and several others wherein effective starch utilization is of essence. Key Uses of Glucoamylase in Starch Processing: Glucose Generation : Herein, through its hydrolytic action Glucoamylase converts the starch into glucose which forms an ideal feed-stock for syrups, high fructose molasses, sweetener preparations or even fermentation activities. Ethanol & Biofuel Industry: This improves starch-to-sugar conversion, which helps to produce higher yields of ethanol. It makes the production of biofuel more sustainable. Baking & Brewing: In baking, it improves dough texture and fermentation. In brewing, it helps in maximizing sugar extraction for alcohol production. Dairy & Confectionery : It is used in some lactose-free dairy alterna...
