The paper studied effects of several kinds of enzymes on degradation of yam mucilage.Taking yam mucilage as the object,according to the viscosity,the effects of compound enzyme ration,enzyme amount and hydrolysis time were investigated.By single factor and orthogonal tests,the optimal hydrolysis condition of the proportion of compound enzyme( Cellulase:Mannase) 2:1( w:w),enzyme amount 0.6%( w/w) and time 90 min were determined.Under the optimization of process condition,the viscosity of yam mucilage was reduced by 64.81%.
