Abstract: | Enzymatic Direct Saccharification of the Starch of Intermediate Products of Maize Starch Industry . A new process for direct enzymatic saccharification of starch in wet-milled, degermed steeped maize is proposed. Utilization of this product instead of dry-degermed maize fractions is of advantage as maize germs are obtained in pure form about 50% fat in DS. Moreover, highest possible extraction of soluble maize components by the steeping process and simultaneous optimal loosening of the starch-gluten structure are achieved. |
