DESCRIPTION

High conversion Glucoamylase HGA-100 is made from controlled fermentation and extraction of selected strains of Aspergillus niger. HGA-100 can catalyze the release of glucose units from the non-reducing ends of soluble dextrins by hydrolyzing both linear (1,4-alpha-D) and branch (1,6-alpha -D) glucosidic linkages.

HGA-100 does not contain Glucosidase, thus enables its high conversion rate from starch to sugar.
