The maltose figure of flour as affected by additions of malt and fungal amylase

Abstract: In flour suspensions a substantial proportion of malt a-amylase is adsorbed from solution by the damaged starch in flour whereas much smaller proportions of fungal amylase are adsorbed under similar conditions. The greater adsorption of malt a-amylase by damaged starch is mainly responsible for the enhanced effect of malt in the maltose test. Only about 60-70% of malt a-amylase appears to be capable of being adsorbed by flour, and this suggests that the enzyme contains at least two components differing in thei… Show more

“…The action pattern of α‐amylases, the level of adsorption of the enzyme and the characteristics of the end products depend on the product and the nature of substrates (Colonna et al ., 1992). A possible reason is the higher adsorption rate of the cereal α‐amylase by damaged starch in the flour than fungal α‐amylase, as indicated earlier (Dodds & Knight, 1967).…”

“…However, adsorption rates differed depending on the source. This finding supports the conclusion of Dodds & Knight (1967) that a considerable amount of cereal α‐amylase is adsorbed by damaged starch whereas fungal α‐amylase is adsorbed to a smaller extent.…”

“…The diastatic activity of the flours seemed to be desirably increased by triticale and wheat malts, in the range of 2.5 to 10.0 SKBjlOO g flour. According to DODDS et al [12], malt a-amylase is preferentially adsorbed by the damaged starch in aqueous flour suspensions and was responsible for accelerated enzyme action to produce more maltose as compared to the action of fungal 2-amylase. The action of bacterial aamylase appeared to be far more extensive than that of the cereal and fungal a-amylases.…”
