Modelling the Effects of Ageing Time of Starch on the Enzymatic Activity of Three Amylolytic Enzymes

Table 6

Comparison between the values of 𝑣 m a x and 𝐾 𝑀 obtained with the overall models (5), (6), and (7) (Table 5) and those obtained with the classical Michaelis-Menten model (1) for the enzymatic reactions of the three amylolytic enzymes in unaged starch without gelatine (Table 4). *Significant differences for 𝑃 < 0 . 0 5 .
