Starches2
  • Pullulanase has also found its application in the production of high-amylose starches, which can be further processed into "resistant starch" that is not digested in the small intestine but fermented in the large intestine by gut bacteria, producing short-chain fatty acids such as butyrates that are beneficial for colon health. (glucoamylaseenzyme.com)

Structures1
  • Susceptibility to biodegradation is highly dependent on the chemical backbone structure of the polymer, and different bioplastics have different structures, thus it cannot be assumed that bioplastic in the environment will readily disintegrate. (wikipedia.org)
