Question

Fungal amylase finds its use in the baking industry.

(a) True

(b) False

The question was posed to me in an online quiz.

My query is from Large Scale Use of Enzyme topic in chapter Large Scale Use of Enzyme in Solution of Enzyme Technology

Answer 1

Right option is (a) True

To explain: With the introduction of combine harvesters, the use of fungal amylases to facilitate gas production and starch modification during fermentation in bread making process had become necessary. They reduce the time between cutting and threshing of the wheat, thus increasing the amounts of use of endogenous enzymes. Hence the above statement is said to be true.
