Research on saccharification conditions of starch in camellia seed

The saccharification conditions of starch in camellia seed was discussed in this paper.The range of single factors of saccharification time and temperature,enzyme quantity and ratio of material to water were determined.The saccharification conditions were determined by single factor and orthogonal experiments with Dextrose Equivalent(DE) and the content of dextrose as indexes.The result showed that: the DE value and the content of dextrose reached 50.60% and 17.40% under the optimum conditions of saccharification temperature 55℃,the dose of saccharifying enzyme 3‰,the ratio of raw materials and water 1: 4.5 and saccharification time 180 min.
