Function
1. Starch-to-glucose conversion: Hydrolyzes starch and dextrins into glucose for use in sweeteners, syrups, and ethanol production.
2. Brewing & distilling: Enhances fermentability by breaking down residual starch in mashes, improving alcohol yields and fermentation efficiency.
3. Bioethanol production: Essential for saccharifying liquefied starch into glucose, which is then fermented into ethanol for fuel.
4. Food & beverage sweetening: Converts starch into high-glucose syrups, enhancing sweetness for use in candies, beverages, and processed foods.
5. Low-calorie sweeteners: Produces glucose-based syrups that can be further processed into low-calorie or reduced-sugar products.
