Glucoamylase is amongst the most widely used and oldest catalysts in the food processing industry. It functions in the saccharification of partially produced dextrin or starch to glucose, making it a vital substrate for several fermentation processes and a wide range of beverages. It is also known as the type of enzyme that can easily break down starches into glucose, which afterwards becomes usable and absorbable, thus reducing stomach upsets and other potential digestive problems.
