Conversion-stage distinction retained. PDF54 prints 65–140°F as18–40°C; 140°F is60°C. Product-specific enzyme stability is required; glossary338 wrongly makes beta-amylase split maltose into glucose.
The pages explain the staged treatment of grain starch before fermentation.
For cereal grains, Hyde distinguishes starch gelatinization from enzymatic liquefaction and then saccharification; treating them as separate functions clarifies why temperature rests and enzyme choices differ.
