Effect of Enzymatic Modification of White Corn Flour Starch on the Quality of Bread for Patients Diagnosed With Celiac Disease

Abstract

The effect of enzymes with amylolytic activity on the degree of hydrolysis of white corn flour in order to improve the quality of gluten-free bread for special nutrition was studied. Starch was hydrolyzed using mushroom α-amylase and glucoamylase in an amount of 0.005 % and 0.03 % by weight of flour, respectively. As a result, the number of sugars increased to 5.0 % - 5.5 %. The optimal pH value of 4.7 for the action of enzymes was set by adding 0.065 % citric acid. Hydrolysis was subjected to 50 % of white corn flour from the total amount, the humidity of the hydrolyzate was 65%. In addition to mono-and disaccharides, the hydrolysate accumulated 3.5 % on THE basis of dextrins, of which-1.3 % - achro-and maltodextrins, reducing the degree of stale bread.
