Enzymes in the Starch and Sugar Industry In this essay I will attempt to explore the uses and other important aspects of using enzymes in the starch and sugar industry. I will proceed through the different properties of the starch and sugar industries demonstrating their particular uses. The starch industry began using industrial enzymes at an early date. Special types of syrup that could not be produced using conventional chemical hydrolysis were the first compounds made entirely by enzymatic processes. Many valuable products are derived from starch. There has been heavy investment into enzyme research in this field and intensive development work on application processes. Reaction efficiency, specific action, the ability to work under mild conditions and a high degree of purification and standardisation all make enzymes ideal catalysts for the starch industry. The moderate temperatures and pH values used for the reactions, mean that few by-products affecting flavour and colour...
