Which of the following enzyme is not used in starch hydrolysis? Correct Answer Papain
The enzyme which is not used in starch hydrolysis is papain. Papain is obtained Carica Papaya and is used in meat tenderization. α – amylase, glucoamylases and Pullulanase obtained from Bacillus Licheniformis, Aspergillus Niger and Bacillus acidopullulyticus respectively are the enzymes used in starch hydrolysis. Pullulanase cleaves only α – 1,6 links to give straight chain maltodextrins. Glucoamylases cleaves α – 1,4 and α – 1,6 links to give β-glucose. α – amylase cleaves only a-1, 4-oligosaccharide links are cleaved to give a-dextrin’s and predominantly maltose (G2), G3, G6 and G7 oligosaccharides.
