Corn starch was hydrolysed by glucoamylase (EC 3.2.1.3, 1,4‐a‐ D ‐glucan glucohydrolase) in a chemostat; 106 g L −1 reducing sugar was produced at 40 °C after 46 h, whereas only 42 g L −1 was produced at 30 °C. When corn starch concentration was increased from 64.6 g L −1 to 161.5 g L −1 , the amount of reducing sugar produced increased with the initial substrate concentration. The studies show that there is a product concentration ( p 0 ) above which product inhibition becomes apparent. A new model for starch hydrolysis considering the product inhibition point is presented. Copyright © 2006 Society of Chemical Industry
