Abstract

The amylolytic susceptibility, using glucoamylase I1 from Aspergillus
niger and salivary ct-amylase, of groundnut and ragi (finger millet)
starch granules was investigated. The rate of hydrolysis was followed
by estimating the amounts of glucose and maltose released. The
degradation patterns were observed using the scanning electron
microscope. This revealed that in groundnut starch attack by both the
enzymes was uniform and resulted in several types of pitting, whereas
ragi starch , although undergoing greater degradation than groundnut
starch, showed only afew corrosions that resulted in little change
in surface structures.
