β-Amylase is present primarily in plants such as barley and sweet potatoes. It is an exoenzyme that hydrolyses the polysaccharide starch .The major storage form of energy in plants is carbohydrates typically starch. These storage form of energy needs to be cleaved down for efficient utilization by the plant systems .Starch contains two types of glucose polymers, amylose and amylopectin. Amylose consists of long, unbranched chains of D-glucose residues connected by (α1 - 4) linkages.
