Abstract:
1. A process for producing a desired end product—from a granular starch slurry, said process comprising: contacting a granular starch slurry obtained from a granular starch substrate simultaneously with an alpha amylase and a glucoamylase having glucoamylase activity and at least 97% amino acid sequence identity with SEQ ID NO:3, at a temperature equal to or below the gelatinization temperature of the granular starch; and allowing the alpha amylase and the glucoamylase to act for a period of time sufficient to hydrolyze the granular starch to obtain a composition comprising a glucose syrup; and converting the glucose syrup to a desired end product selected from the group consisting of fructose syrup, ethanol and crystallized glucose.
