Summary
A simple method for determination of starch hydrolysis degree by measurement of maltooligosaccharides using HPLC on SGX C-18 column with deionised water as mobile phase was presented. Separation of seven oligosaccharides in an order from glucose to maltoheptaose illustrated the action of two enzyme systems taking part of starch hydrolysis and following fermentation to ethanol.
