Abstract
The effects on tobacco-leaf fiber of enzyme prepns. of fungal origin were compared with that of snail digestive juice. As tested on a number of polysaccharides and on hemoglobin and pectin, their enzyme content was similar. Aspergillus aureus extract was the most effective. Previous decalcifications markedly increased the release of carbohydrates.Keywords
