    摘要: The present invention relates to raw starch hydrolysis and in particular to a raw starch hydrolysis and fermentation process. More particularly the present invention relates to a process of producing a fermentation product from raw starch material, comprising the steps of: (a) saccharifying starch-containing material at a temperature below the initial gelatinization temperature of said starch-containing material; and (b) fermenting with a fermenting organism, wherein step (a) is carried out using at least a variant alpha-amylase comprising a substitution at one or more positions corresponding to positions 196, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 28, 38, 39, 43, 54, 56, 57, 64, 67, 68, 70, 71, 86, 89, 90, 94, 96, 99, 101, 103, 107, 108, 110, 113, 114, 117, 127, 134, 138, 142, 150, 151, 152, 156, 169, 171, 174, 179, 183, 193, 199, 200, 204, 205, 207, 208, 209, 212, 218, 221, 222, 224, 233, 241, 245, 259, 275, 278, 281, 282, 283, 284, 285, 308, 323, 335, 348, 359, 382, 386, 388, 392, 394, 396, 412, 414, 417, 424, 428, 457, 459, 466, 479, 489, 511, 533, 534, 542, 543, 545, 547, 549, 550, 551, 560, 566, 570, 574, 575, 576, 577, 578, 580, 581, 582, 589, 592, 599, 603, 605, 608, 614, 619, or 626 of the polypeptide of SEQ ID NO: 1, wherein the variant has alpha-amylase activity and wherein the variant has at least 60%, e.g., at least 65%, at least 70%, at least 75%, at least 80%, at least 85%, at least 90%, at least 95%, at least 96%, at least 97%, at least 98%, or at least 99% sequence identity, but less than 100% sequence identity, to the polypeptide of SEQ ID NO: 1, and optionally a glucoamylase.
