Resumo

The production of sugars from starch sources is an industry that exists in its present form due to the application of industrial enzymology to solve process related problems. As the industry matures, the demand for more efficient enzymes leading to higher quality products and lower production costs for the starch processor has increased. Researchers are now finding or tailoring enzymes for specific operational needs of the processor using a combination of tools such as protein engineering, directed evolution and improved accessing of natural diversity.
