An industrial process is described whereby maize grits are used as raw material for the production of glucose syrup and dextrose. Glucose syrup is produced by means of a single‐enzyme system which eliminates many disadvantages associated with a double‐enzyme system. Chemical analysis of the syrup and protein residue as well as a gel chromatogram of the syrup is also presented in the paper.
