Due to the fact that we possess enzymes that break down the alpha linkages in starch, the glucose molecules that make up amylose

and amylopectin are available for humans to absorb. The beta linkage that bonds glucose in dietary fiber products such as cellulose is not available to humans because we do not possess the enzyme capable of breaking down the beta bond.

The answer is: A. True

Complex sugars or polysaccharides are composed of basic units called monosaccharides that are linked via  glycosidic bonds. Glycosidic bond is formed through condensation reactions (water is released) that occur between a hydroxyl (OH) oxygen atom on one sugar and the α-anomeric form of C-1 on the other. There are are two types of glycosidic bonds:

- 1,4 alpha ( the OH is below the glucose ring)

- 1,4 beta glycosidic bonds (the OH is above the glucose ring)

Amylase is an enzyme that breaks down starch into smaller glucose molecules, it act on α-1,4-glycosidic bonds and it works in mouth where the digestion begins (salivary amylase) . Maltase breaks down maltose into glucose; sucrase, breaks down sucrose into glucose and fructose; and lactase, which breaks down lactose into glucose and galactose work in small intestine and also act on α-1,4-glycosidic bonds.

Answer:

Change the enzyme tolerance

Explanation:

Using enzymes in manufacturing is a very effective way to achieve many of the results that we desire. However, there are a number of conditions that must be taken into consideration when using this medium. Since enzymes require specific conditions to function; this is the limitation of using enzyme in manufacturing.

If you as the manufacturer finds that there are issues in the efficiency there are practical steps that can be takes with the current scientific advancements.

  1. Introduce a mutation: This should be one that changes the enzyme tertiary structure enough for it to tolerate a flux in conditions but does not interfere with production efficiency or cost of production.
  2. Slowly change conditions and allow evolution: This is in the case that the enzyme is produced on-site and the manipulation of the tertiary structure is a bit difficult. In organisms such as yeast or e. coli, this is practical and attainable albeit time consuming.

Finally, harnessing and manipulating the enzyme structure and function is an incredible advantage in manufacturing and options are available to optimize production.
