The present invention relates to a granular starch hydrolyzing enzyme composition
comprising an acid stable alpha amylase (asAA) having granular starch hydrolyzing
activity. The invention also relates to a one-step method for producing an alcohol
which comprises contacting a granular starch substrate with an acid-stable alpha
amylase (asAA) having granular starch hydrolyzing (GSH) activity and a glucoamylase
(GA) in a fermentation step which also comprises ethanologenic microorganisms at
a temperature of 25-40 C. to obtain a fermentation broth having 5 to 20% ethanol.
