| Abstract | ||||
| Amylase is an industrially important enzyme and applied in many industrial processes such as scarification of starchy materials, food, pharmaceutical, detergent, and textile industries. This research work deals with the optimization Increase enzyme efficiency of dissolution unit from Etihad Food Industries Company (Sugar plant). Effects of operating parameters such as amylase concentration (0-50 ppm), time (0-15 min) and temperature (25-85 C◦) on the removal efficiency of starch were investigated. The results revealed that temperature has the main effect on the amylase efficiency. Under optimized operating conditions of initial temperature =85 C, amylase concentration =25 ppm, and time for reaction=15 min the removal efficiency of starch was found to be 60% which is relatively higher than the previous works. | ||||
