Saccharifing enzyme, also known as g lucoamylase, besides can hydrolyze α -1,4 glycosidic bonds of starch from non-reducing end to produce glucose, and also can slowly hydrolyze α -1,6 glycosidic bonds. At the branch of α -1,6 bonds, it slice off α -1.6 bonds first then slice off α -1.4 linkages. Therefore, it can successively slice glucose unit of amylose from the non-reducing end to produce glucose.
