Abstract:
Recently’ recognition cnf immobilization ‘technology
for the rapid conversion of several substrates into metabolites
and repeated reuse of the biocatalysts have drawn the
attention of the fermentation scientists and technologists to
try these new technologies for the rapid production of pnxkmt
and enhancement of the efficiencies of the systems
Hence in the present study rice was selected,as a
substrate since it is a rich source of starch, available and
cultivated throughout the year almost in all part of our
country. Rice although known for its use as a staple food in
many forms as rice, idli, dosai etc., has not been used in
industry extensively. However, it ii; a potential resource
for’ the production of alcohol, high protein food anui for
sugar and sugar syrups as it is evidenced by the few reports
mentioned in the review of literature.
Of the several microorganisms available, Bacillus sp,
is a known candidate for the production of amylases. Hence
in the present study Bacillus sp, was desired for its known
efficiencies in starch conversion
