Abstract: | The pretreatment of starch raw materials such as sweet potato, potato and cassava has been carried out using various types of crusher, viz juice mixer, homogenizer and high-speed planetary mill. The effect of pretreatment of the materials on their enzymatic hydrolysis was studied. High-speed planetary mill treatment was the most effective and comparable with heat treatment (pasting). Various crushing times were used to examine the effect of crushing by mill treatment on the enzymatic hydrolysis. In the enzymatic hydrolysis of cassava, the use of both cellulase 1,4-(1,3; 1,4)-β-d-glucan 4-glucanohydrolase, EC 3.2.1.4] and glucoamylase 1,4-α-d-glucan glucohydrolase, EC 3.2.1.3] enhanced the d-glucose yield. The immobilization of glucoamylase was studied by radiation polymerization of hydrophilic monomers at low temperature, and it was found that enzymatic activity of the immobilized glucoamylase particles varied with monomer concentration and particle size. Starchy raw materials pretreated with the mill can be efficiently hydrolysed by immobilized glucoamylase. |
