摘要:
Dough with a high sucrose content (such as cake dough) tends to inhibit the activity of an anti-staling amylase such as Novamyl®, making it less effective to prevent the staling of dough-based products with high sucrose content such as cakes. A good anti-staling effect in cakes can be achieved by using a carefully selected anti-staling amylase with certain properties. Analysis of a 3D structure of Novamyl® shows that sucrose may inhibit by binding in the active site. Sucrose docks into the active site of Novamyl® differently from the substrate or inhibitor in published models 1QHO and 1QHP. This finding is used to design sucrose-tolerant variants.
摘要:
The present invention relates to polypeptides having alpha-amylase activity and polynucleotides having a nucleotide sequence which encodes for the polypeptides. The invention also relates to a polypeptide having carbohydrate-binding affinity and polynucleotides having a nucleotide sequence which encodes for the polypeptides. The invention also relates to nucleic acid constructs, vectors, and host cells comprising the nucleic acid constructs as well as methods for producing and using the polypeptides.
摘要:
The inventors have developed a method of altering the amino acid sequence of a fungal alpha-amylase to obtain variants, and they have used the method to construct such variants. The variants may be useful for anti-staling in baked products. Accordingly, the invention provides a method of constructing fungal alpha-amylase variants based on a comparison of three-dimensional (3D) structures of the fungal alpha-amylase and a maltogenic alpha-amylase. One or both models includes a substrate. The invention also provides novel fungal alpha-amylase variants.
摘要:
In the production of edible products which includes a holding period for starch retrogra-dation, the addition of a xylanase to cereal-based raw materials accelerates the retrogradation and thus allows a shortening of the holding period.
摘要:
The addition to dough of a combination of two lipolytic enzymes with different substrate specificities produces a synergistic effect on the dough or on a baked product made from the dough, particularly a larger loaf volume of the baked product and/or a better shape retention during baking.
