Abstract
The hydrolysis of the amylopectin of gelatinized waxy barley starch by Bacillus licheniformis alpha-amylase occurred in a non-random way, sh owing accumulation of smaller-size hydrolysis products. The hydrolysis of barley starch by Bacillus acidopullulyticus pullulanase also began with a rapid decrease in the molecular size of amylopectin, indicatin g that the enzyme was capable of hydrolyzing the alpha-1,6-linkages in the middle of the amylopectin molecule.
