Application of glucoamylase enzyme use in brewing industry starch sugar and food processing

    Glucoamylase enzymes are a type of amylase preparation that can completely hydrolyze polysaccharides such as starch and dextrin into glucose through fermentation and cultivation by Aspergillus niger. They have strong stability in acidic environments and are widely used in various fields of the food industry, such as glucose, fructose syrup, organic acids, and monosodium glutamate.

Fermentation: In alcohol brewing, starch in the raw materials can be completely converted into fermentable sugars, providing sufficient carbon sources for yeast and increasing alcohol production;

Starch sugar production: Starch raw materials such as corn and sweet potato are liquefied by alpha amylase, and adding amylase can further hydrolyze dextrin into glucose, which can be used to produce high fructose syrup, glucose syrup and other products. The conversion rate can reach over 95%, significantly improving the utilization efficiency of starch. ​

Food processing: Glucoamylase can be used in baked goods production to increase glucose content in dough, promote the Maillard reaction, and enhance product color and flavor.

1. Enzyme preparations are bioactive substances that are susceptible to the inhibitory and destructive effects of heavy metal ions (Fe3+, Cu2+, Hg+, Pb+, etc.) and oxidants. Contact with them should be avoided during use and storage;

2. For people who are easily sensitive, it may cause hypersensitivity reactions; Close contact or slight inhalation may irritate the skin, eyes, and mucosal tissues; During the use of enzyme products, it is recommended to wear protective equipment such as masks and eye masks.

3. Moisture proof, light proof, sealed and stored at low temperature (0-10 ° C) for 18 months. Enzymes experience a certain loss of enzyme activity during storage, with 5-10% loss of enzyme activity at 10 ° C for 6 months and 10-15% loss of enzyme activity at room temperature for 6 months.

4. Extending the storage period or being affected by harsh storage conditions such as high temperature and humidity can lead to an increase in usage.
