Abstract

Glucoamylase (EC 3.2.1.3) from Aspergillus niger was used to hydrolyze commercial sago starch into reducing sugars. The energetics of the hydrolysis was studied at optimal substrate concentration, enzyme amount and pH for the process. The ΔH and ΔS estimated via van't Hof analysis were 7.9 J.mole -1 and 6.2 J.mole -1.K -1, respectively. The results indicated that the hydrolysis process is an endothermic reaction and spontaneous within the temperature range tested. It is calculated that 26.3 J.mole -1 of activation energy, E a is required for the enzymatic conversion of sago starch into reducing sugars. The spontaneous reaction with relatively low activation energy supported the viability of glucoamylase-catalyzed hydrolysis of sago starch.
