The action of enzymes such as diastase, takadiastase, pancreatin, amylase of Bacillus subutilis, cellulase and saliva, on carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), carboxymethylstarch (CMS), and methylcellulose (MC), was studied concerning the production of reducing sugar and the change of the viscosity of each 1% aqueous solution.
Cellulase produced some reducing sugar from CMC and reduced the viscosity of CMC aqueous solution, and takadiastase followed it. Pancreatin, amylase of B. subtilis and saliva produced little or no reducing sugar from CMC, but these enzymes produced reducing sugar from CMS and reduced the viscosity of CMS aqueous solution. MC was affected slightly by cellulose but other enzymes gave no influence on MC.
