Starch Gelatinization & Saccharification
Converting wheat, corn, barley, rye, and potato starch to sugar — potential gravity calculation, enzyme temperature optima, and malt dosing.
This is a qualitative model (two approximate bell-shaped curves) — exact numbers depend on the specific enzyme product/malt.
1 kg of average diastatic-power malt can convert ≈4.5 kg of unmalted starch (typical value — may differ for your specific malt).
