Approximately 95% of the malt produced is used to make beet while small amounts are used as distillers and food malts. Distillers malt, which is used to convert starch-containing grains into fermentable sugars, is prepared almost exclusively for its enzymes, especially a-amylase (see Beverage SPIRITS, distilled). Food malts are sold for their davor and/or enzyme contribution to food products. 

Several alkenes occur naturally in living organisms. Some of these alkenes act as hormones and control biological functions. Plants produce ethene as a hormone to stimulate flower and seed production and to ripen fruits. Ethene stimulates enzymes in the plants to convert starch and acids of unripe fruit into sugars. The enzymes also soften fruit by breaking down pectin in cell walls.

Prior to 1939, however, it was not known whether the cyclodextrins were products of the synthetic metabolism of Bacillus macerans, and therefore, perhaps, quite different from the components of starch, or whether they were formed by a single enzyme and therefore closely related to the starch structure. Then, Tilden and Hudson announced the discovery of a cell-free enzyme preparation from cultures of Bacillus macerans which had the ability to convert starch into the Schardinger dextrins without the production of maltose, glucose, or any other reducing sugars. They thus concluded that the Schardinger dextrins were either the true components of starch or closely related to such true components. 

These are accomplished in large fermenters in chemical plants, mostly in the Midwest. The cheapest feedstock is starch rather than sugar (other enzymes convert starch to glucose), and com from the Midwest is the cheapest source of starch. 

Spallanzani in 1783 (Sumner and Somers, 1953), the enzymatic hydrolysis of taimin was described by Scheele in 1786 (Tauber, 1949), in 1814 Kirchhoff observed that a glutinous component of wheat is capable of converting starch to sugar and dextrin, and Vogel showed in 1817 that an iirfusion of oats would produce a fermentable sugar from milk (Roberts et a/., 1995). 

HFCS processes could not have been developed if efficient enzyme-based production methods for converting starch into glucose had not already been developed.

It was a good idea, but it didn t work. No microbe that Weizmann tried yielded isoprene. But Clostridium aceto-butylium did convert starch into a mixture of ethanol, acetone, and butanol, a blend that did not particularly interest Weizmann. It certainly interested Lloyd George, however he heard the whole account from Weizmann himself. Here, pehaps, was a way to produce the acetone that they sorely needed for the manufacture of cordite. Weizmann was asked to scale up his experimental process, and within a short time he d converted a gin distillery into a factory to make his mixture. He easily separated the acetone through distillation, and soon mass production was under way. There was no need for butanol, and huge stocks built up. But after the war the...
