Starch Depolymerization with Diluted Phosphoric Acid and Application of the Hydrolysate in Astaxanthin Fermentation

An innovative alternative for cassava starch hydrolysis has been developed using diluted (about 0.1 %) phosphoric acid at 160 °C. This technology is advantageous for developing countries where enzyme costs are prohibitive and hydrochloric acid is currently the only catalyst used for starch depolymer...
