Might not get it down to a monomer but certainly breaks it apart for the enzymes to have more ends to attack.
- JoeAltmaier 6y agoI worked on a process to reduce a vatful of long-chain polysaccharides to dextrose. The resulting dried powder was shipped as 'coffee creamer'. But not sure how efficient the process would be on starch - we started with much shorter chains (sucrose etc but some starch).
