Liquefaction of starch

Cooking extruders have been studied for the liquefaction of starch, but the high temperature inactivation of the enzymes in the extruder demands doses 5—10 times higher than under conditions in a jet cooker (69). For example, continuous nonpressure cooking of wheat for the production of ethanol is carried out at 85°C in two continuous stirred tank reactors (CSTR) connected in series plug-flow tube reactors may be included if only one CSTR is used (70).

Nearly 95,000 tons of glucose and dextrose are produced by enzymatic liquefaction of starch, mainly tapioca (cassava). Since lactic acid-based biodegradable polymers like polyglycolide and polylactide are not produced in India, consumption of lactic acid is confined to food processing and the pro-...

Thermostability of Thermoanaerohacter sp. CGTase. The addition of 40ppm Ca+ + to the CGTase preparation during incubation at high temperatures in the absence or presence of starch substrate provided no enhancement of the thermostability of the enzyme. A comparison of the thermostable CGTase was made to other thermostable enzymes used in starch liquefaction including Termamyl Bacillus licheniformis) and Bacillus stearothermophilus alpha-amylase.

Starch Liquefaction. Starch in its natural state is only degraded slowly by CC-amylases. To make the starch susceptible to enzymatic breakdown, it is necessary to gelatinize and liquefy a slurry with a 30—40% dry matter content. Gelatinization temperature depends on the type of starch (67) com is the most common source of industrial starches followed by wheat, tapioca, and potatoes. Liquefaction is achieved by adding a heat-stable a-amylase to the starch slurry. The equipment used for liquefaction may be stirred tank reactors, continuous stirred tank reactors (CSTR), or a jet cooker. Most starch processing plants liquefy the starch with a single enzyme dose in a process using a jet cooker (Fig. 9). 

Brewery s spent grain (BSG) is the residue of malt and grain remaining in the mash kettle after the liquefaction and saccharification of starch to produce the wort. Since the manufacture of just 1 L of beer leads to about 0.04 kg of dry BSG, this material is largely available throughout the year. BSG is only used in low added-value applications such as feed, and therefore upgrading solutions are needed. 

Add 0.5 ml of the bacterial amylase solution to 50 ml of the 20 g 1 1 nonbuffered starch solution prepared in Step 1. Periodically place a few drops of the reaction mixture on a glass plate and add one drop of the iodine reagent. The color should finally turn red, indicating the total conversion of starch to dextrin. This liquefaction step should last for approximately 10 min. 

Starch conversion refers to the process of converting starch into other products. It involves gelatinization, liquefaction, and saccharification. Liquefaction refers to the acid-or enzyme-catalyzed conversion of starch into maltodextrin. Starch, usually from wet milling of com, is pumped in a slurry to the conversion plant, where it undergoes one or more hydrolytic processes to yield mixtures of various carbohydrates in the form of syrups. The kind and amount of the various carbohydrates obtained depend upon the type of hydrolysis system used (acid, acid-enzyme, or enzyme-enzyme), the extent to which the hydrolytic reaction is allowed to proceed, and the type of enzyme(s) used. The fact that most starches consist of two different kinds of polymers... 

D-Glucose can also be obtained by enzymic conversion of starch or cellulose. Two separate enzymic processes, liquefaction and saccharification, are generally used in the production of D-glucose from starch. The liquefaction process solubilizes the molecules in the starch granules and decreases the viscosity of the starch. In the saccharification step, the liquefied starch is further hydrolyzed to D-glucose by the action of glucoamylase. The majority of starches used for the manufacture of D-glucose contain up to 80% amylopectin 99... 

During liquefaction, the starch is solubilized by heating and partially hydrolyzed with a thermostable alpha amylase from Bacillus licheniformis or from other sources. The endo-acting alpha amylases are able to bypass the a-(l->6)-D-glucosidic linkages at the branch points in amylopectin but are not capable of hydrolyzing them. The oligosaccharides formed can be branched or linear. The... 

Interesting applications of these systems can be found in ethanol production from cellulose or starch. The overall process is called simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF).98 In this process, two fermentors are connected in series. The first one provides for the liquefaction of the slurry, which is then pumped into the second fermentor, where simultaneous saccharification and fermentation occur due to the presence of amyloglucosidase and Z. mobilis cells.
