Ref. #: 2247MS
Technique for Increasing the Catalytic Rate of the Starch
Hydrolase, Glucoamylose
.
A patented method for increasing the catalytic activity of starch hydrolases
using polyethylene glycol. This invention has potential to decrease the .
amount of time required to hydrolyze maltodextrins, increase the capacity of
reaction vessels, or reduce the amount of enzyme required to hydrolyze a
given amount of maltodextrins. This invention has applications in the corn
wet milling industry and the production of high fructose corn syrup.
