TL;DR: The alpha-amylase family of glycosyl hydrolases as discussed by the authors is one of the most common types of enzymes used in industrial applications and has a (beta/alpha) 8-barrel structure with conserved amino acid residues.
TL;DR: In this article, the adsorption mechanisms of natural polysaccharides are reviewed, with the objective of promoting wider applications of the polymers, such as cellulose, starch, dextrin, guar gum, cellulose and their derivatives.
TL;DR: By using an eluent of dilute enzyme solution, starch conversions of up to 60% were achieved using lower amounts of enzyme than the theoretical amount required by a conventional bioreactor to produce the same amount of maltose over the same time period.
Abstract: Combined bioreaction and separation has been successfully carried out in a Simulated Counter-Current Chromatographic Reactor–Separator (SCCR–S) system for the saccharification of modified starch to maltose and dextrin. The effects of the operating parameters (switch time, eluent flowrate, feed concentration and enzyme activity) on the performance of the SCCR–S system were investigated. By using an eluent of dilute enzyme solution, starch conversions of up to 60% were achieved using lower amounts of enzyme than the theoretical amount required by a conventional bioreactor to produce the same amount of maltose over the same time period. Comparing the SCCR–S system with a continuous rotating annular chromatograph (CRAC) for the saccharification of modified starch showed that the SCCR–S system required only 34·6–47·3% of the amount of enzyme required by the CRAC, system.
TL;DR: The nature, amounts, and sequence of products formed from well-characterized substrates by the action of a crystalline α-type amylase from Bacillus subtilis were determined by qualitative and quantitative paper chromatography as discussed by the authors.
TL;DR: Growth improved as the level of glucose, sucrose, dextrin and starch was increased from 0% to 40%, growth, food conversion efficiency (FCE), NPR, carcass fat and condition factor were reduced and the use of a-cellulose as an inert bulker in experimental diets for fish is discussed.
