Abstract
The high temperature jet cooking process for starch conversion has made a significant contribution in the commercial production of glucose from starch-based raw materials. However, it is still necessary to reduce manufacturing and energy costs as well as to improve quality of products. A new enzyme technology for production of glucose from granular starch using a granular starch hydrolyzing enzyme (GSHE) system has been developed. This technology replaces the traditional energy intensive process of liquefaction and saccharification. The GSHE technology offers opportunities to establish optimized feedstock for the biochemical and sweetener industries and is expected to eliminate the use of high energy during starch processing thereby providing a more cost effective glucose production process. The application of GSHE in the production of glucose from a variety of starch substrates including corn, wheat and tapioca is presented.
