The limit dextrinase from malted sorghum (Sorghum vulgare).
A limit dextrinase, free from contaminating carbohydrases, has been purified from malted sorghum flour. The enzyme readily hydrolysed alpha-limit dextrins having maltosyl or maltotriosyl side-chains, pullulan, and amylopectin beta-limit dextrin. Glycogen beta-limit dextrin and amylopectin were more slowly hydrolysed, the detection of the hydrolysis of amylopectin being dependent on enzyme concentration. No significant debranching of glycogen could be detected.
