✦ Synopsis

The effect on the dextrose equivalent value (DE) obtained in maltodextrin saccharification with a glucoamylase preparation containing various quantities of acid stable a-amylase isolated by anion exchange chromatography was investigated. When the acid stable a-amylase activity was increased 2.5fold, a maximum DE value of 95.6% (glucose content, DX, 95.0%) was reached in 48 h, 1.4 % (DX of 1.1%) higher than that of the control (DE 94.2%; DX 93.9%).
