    Abstract

    A limit dextrinase has been isolated from broad-bean flour and purified 800-fold. The enzyme readily hydrolysed branched a-dextrins containing maltosyl or maltotriosyl side-chains, pullulan, and amylopectin ß-limit dextrin. Glycogen ß-limit dextrins and amylopectin were slowly hydrolysed, but glycogens were barely susceptible to hydrolysis. There was no evidence for the presence of a second debranching enzyme in broad beans. © 1975.
