Abstract
Glucoamylase enzyme isolated from the cultures of a mutant strain of Asperg illus niger (CFTRI 1105) was found to digest beta-cyclodextrin in standard 1% solutions as well as in beta-cyclodextrin-treated egg yolk and whole egg samples. About 70-95% of beta-cyclodextrin in samples was digested with bo th dilute (reducing sugar activity 870 units) and concentrated (34,800 unit s) enzyme solutions at 40 degrees C and 70 degrees C for incubation periods of 15-360 min.
