Thin-layer chromatograms of reaction products of amylolytic enzymes from amylose (A) or amylopectin (B). Lane M, standard maltooligosaccharides; G1, G2, G3, G4, G5, and G6, glucose, maltose, maltotriose, maltotetraose, maltopentaose, and maltohexaose, respectively. NPL, NOV, β-AMY, BSA, and BLA, B. stearothermophilus neopullulanase, Novamyl, β-amylase, bacterial saccharifying α-amylase, and bacterial liquefying α-amylase, respectively. The reaction times (minutes) are indicated below the lanes.
