The optimum ratio of glucoamylase to alpha-amylase for synergistic hyd
rolysis of starch in corn flour was 1.8 AGU/KNU. The rate of hydrolysi
s of starch in dry milled corn was faster than that of waxy maize star
ch and wet processed corn. Hydrolysis of the starch in dry milled corn
was the most efficient compared with that of wet milled corn steeped
in water or NaOH.
