Abstract
The following is an enumeration of achievements of Hayashibara Kabushiki Kaisha after 1959 in the starch sugar industry .
1. Development of processes for obtaining glucoamylase from R, delemer and for production of pure glucose (DE 97) with the enzyme.
2. Discovery of pure 9-amylase in wheat bran and development of a high-maltose-syrup process with the enzyme.
3. Screening of debranching-enzyme-producing strains from numerous cells, and development of processes for production of amylose, maltose and maltitol with such strains and their uses in foods and pharmaceuticals.
4. Screening of glucose-transferase, and development of a process for production of oligosylfructose with the enzyme .
5. Development of a process for production of a polysaccharide, pullulan, and its uses as food ingredients and non-pollutant plastics.
