BY STARCH HYDROLYSIS
IN FLUIDIZED BED.
WHAT IS STARCH?
Starch is a polymeric carbohydrate
consisting of a large number of glucose units
joined by glycosidic bonds.
This polysaccharide is produced by most
green plants as an energy storage.
It consists of 2 types of molecules:
1)linear and helical amylose.
2)branched amylopectin.
Starchs differ based on the ratio of amylose
to amylopectin.
-Amylase is a protein enzyme that hydrolyses alpha bonds of large, alpha-
linked polysaccharides, such as starch and glycogen, yielding glucose and
AMYLASE:
AMYPLOPECTIN
maltose. It is a helical polymer made of -D-glucose units, bound to each
other through (14) glycosidic bonds. This polysaccharide is one of the two
components of starch, making up approximately 20-30% of the structure.
.
Dextrin refers to a gummy, low molecular carbohydrate that is
odorless and tasteless. .Dextrin is usually available in the powdered
form in white, yellow and brown colors, which are generally partially
soluble and at times, fully soluble in water. Most of them can be
detected with IODINE solution, giving a red coloration.
WHAT IS DEXTRIN?
Dextrin is modified starch.

ENGINEERING FEATURES OF
HYDROLYSIS METHOD
Starch agglomerates during hydrolysis, thus allowing
fluidization without excessive carry over of fines.
Gives uniform degradation because of uniform temperature
control.
When compared with older autoclave units:
Converts four times as much starch in 1/3rd of the time.
Takes 1/8th the floor space and 20% of the capital
investment.
Produces superior products
Requires less operating labour, maintenance and fuel.
