Which of the following enzyme converts starch into maltose?
- A Diastase
- B Maltase
- C Zymase
- D Invertase
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) Diastase
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Maltose is obtained by partial hydrolysis of starch by the enzyme diastase present in Malt \(2{\left( {{C_6}{H_{10}}{O_5}} \right)_n} + n{H_2}O\xrightarrow[{^n{C_6}{H_{12}}{O_6}\,\,{\text{(Maltose)}}\,}]{{Diastase}}\)
