Some analytical aspects of enzyme degradation of starch and inulin into malto‐ and fructooligosaccharides

Abstract

The determination of some quantitative parameters of starch hydrolysis, as well as the determination of some analytical properties during vegetation period and storage of Jerusalem artichoke and hydrolysis of inulin are of great importance for conducting the integrated technological process. The consequences which result from this are very important. High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) has been used in order to solve these very complex analytical problems. Stationary phase ZORBAX‐NH2, aminomodified silica dioxide. has been used successfully for chromatographic determination of the given substrates. This HPLC procedure has some greater advantages over the procedures which have been used up to now for this purpose. Copyright © 1986 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim
