Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a Bacillus subtilis alpha-amylase (AmyE) or its variant thereof. AmyE or its variants thereof may be used to eliminate or reduce the iodine-positive starch presented in saccharide liquor. Also disclosed are a composition comprising an AmyE or variant thereof and a method utilizing an AmyE or variant thereof to eliminate or reduce the iodine-positive starch.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to filamentous fungal host cells and particularly Trichoderma host cells useful for the production of heterologous granular starch hydrolyzing enzymes having glucoamylase activity (GSHE). Further the invention relates to a method for producing a glucose syrup comprising contacting a granular starch slurry obtained from a granular starch substrate simultaneously with an alpha amylase and a GSHE at a temperature equal to or below the gelatinization temperature of the granular starch to obtain a composition of a glucose syrup.
