(1) The author investigated the correlation between the apparent saccharification degree and iodine-starch reaction of starch hydrolyzates by non-attacked (original) and attacked (pH 2.5, 40°C, 30 min.) enzyme systems of various species of molds (about 300 strains of
Aspergillus, Rhizo-pus, Mucor and
Penicillium), and found that they could be classified into 5 types as shown in Tables 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, and Figs. 1, 2, and 3.
(2) If we call the amylase which is not destructed at pH 2.5, 40°C, 30 min., “Resistant” and the one which is destructed at the above condition, “Non-Resistant” then we can assume that five types of molds shown above contain enzyme systems respectively as shown in Fig. 4.
