DESCRIPTION
Glucoamylase is produced
by submerged fermentation of Aspergillus niger followed by purification and formulation. The product is used in starch sugar
processing, alcohol fermentation, distilling, rice wine, vinegar, brewing,
organic acid and antibiotics fermentation.
MECHANISM
Glucoamylase breaks downα-1,4-glycosidic bond of
starch from non-reducing end to produce glucose and can also hydrolyze α-1,6 glycosidic bond slowly. At the branch of α-1,6 bond, it splits off α-1.6 bonds first
then α-1.4 bonds. Therefore, it can successively
liberate glucose unit of amylose from the non-reducing end to produce glucose.
