Question

Starch is converted to ethanol by fermentation. The sequence of enzymes used are (A) amylase, maltase, zymase (B) diastase, maltase, zymase (C) amylase, invertase, zymase (D) amylase, zymase, maltase

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

The manufacture of ethyI alcohol from starch contains the following steps
(i) Hydroiysis of starch

2 (C_{6} H_{10} O_{5}) n + n H_{2} O 50 - 6 0^{\circ}

Diatease

maltase n C_{12} H_{22} O_{11}

This step is called saccharification.
(ii) Fermentation
