Abstract
Crude amylase was extracted from the culture medium of Allizapos eligesponis grown on potato dextrose broth for 7 days at roost temperature. Enzymic hydrolysis of Peinoiselum nmeriemnim starch was carried out by adding 4 mL of the starch slurry in a water bath at 72°C for 2 hr. A percentage increase of 15.6% and 1.66% for protein and carbohydrate respectively of the hydrolyzed millet starch over the unhydrolyzed one were recorded. The increase in Vitamins Br, Br and 11, of the hydrolyzed starch are 1.8976,2.90% and 1.77% respectively over the onhydrolyzed one. Them was .0 percentage inCOM. of 23.11% for the Fe present in the hydrolyzed millet starch over the unhydrolyzed sample. Chromatographic analysis of die hydrolyzed millet starch shows that it contains 8.54% sucrose, 1.64 %Indus% 4.36% maltose, 1.41% glucose and 1.01% galactose. The quantitative analysis of the amino acids revealed that there was an increase of 3.9%, 5.4%, 2.05%, 4.75%, 2.42%, 1.66% and 1.14% for lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, histidine, isokucine, tryptophan and threonine respectively for the hydrolyzed starch over the unhydrolyzed millet starch.
