Enzymatic hydrolysis of starch is essential in several industrial fields. For an efficient degradation of particulate starch, gelatinization of starch accompanied with hydrolysis is necessary. The present thesis is about the mass transfer processes taking place during gelatinization of particulate starch. The single mechanisms were investigated under use of model starch suspensions and the necessary diffusion constants for the calculation of mass transfer processes were derived experimentally. Furthermore the influence of gelatinization on the hydrolysis is show
