S, standard (G1–G7); lane 1, glucose (G1); lane 2, maltose (G2); lane 3, maltotriose (G3); lane 4, maltotetraose (G4); lane 5, maltopentaose (G5); lane 6, maltohexaose (G6); and lane 7, maltoheptaose (G7). a, before the reaction; b, after the reaction. Hydrolysis was performed at 60°C at pH 3.0 for 12 h.
