蜂蜜淀粉酶在鉴别蜂蜜掺假中的应用研究

针对蜂蜜掺假和造假的问题，本文通过测定蜂蜜粗蛋白、蛋白质含量和淀粉酶值，研究储存温度和时间对蜂蜜淀粉酶值和蛋白质含量的影响，寻找一种简单有效、客观公正的鉴别真假蜂蜜的方法。比较研究结果表明在高温(37℃、45℃)下贮存，天然蜂蜜的淀粉酶值和蛋白质的含量逐渐下降，而假蜂蜜中的淀粉酶值和蛋白质的含量基本不变。通过跟踪测定蜂蜜淀粉酶值和蛋白质含量的变化可以检测蜂蜜产品的质量，也可以鉴别真假蜂蜜。     

Inhibition of amylases present in ruminal particle‐associated micro‐organisms

The effect of different substances potentially inhibitory of ruminal amylase activity in sheep was assessed using biochemical and electrophoretic assays. Most amylase activity was detected in the particle‐associated fraction (70%) of the ruminal contents (which was selected for the assays) in comparison with the bacterial (21%) and extracellular (9%) fractions. Salts of divalent ions such as Sn²⁺, Hg²⁺, Cu²⁺ and Zn²⁺ produced 90, 82, 65 and 44% inhibition of amylase activity respectively when assayed at a relative concentration of 5 × 10^?3 mol l^?1. Organic acids such as tannic, formic, ascorbic and benzoic acid produced 79, 48, 43 and 37% inhibition respectively, whereas chelators such as EDTA, EGTA and 1,10‐phenanthroline produced an inhibition ranging from 32 to 37%. Substrate SDS‐PAGE zymograms allowed the identification of different amylase‐active bands in ruminal extracts, showing a wide range of relative molecular masses (from 36 to more than 100 kDa). Such zymograms also confirmed the effect of some inhibitors. The reversibility of the inhibitory effect of some of the assayed substances was assessed. ZnSO₄ was the most persistent inhibitory substance even at low concentrations and, owing to its low toxicity, appears to be an adequate substance to reduce the high in vitro ruminal degradation of starch. Implications for the process of enzymatic digestion of starch are discussed. © 2002 Society of Chemical Industry

酶法生产可可粉饮料的研究

可可粉在饮料中不稳定,可以通过酶的作用降低可可粉的粒径,改善可可粉的溶解性。分别用淀粉酶、纤维素酶、蛋白酶、木聚糖酶对可可粉进行处理,发现淀粉酶、纤维素酶对可可粉有较强的作用,蛋白酶对可可粉几乎没有作用,木聚糖酶和纤维素酶、淀粉酶协同作用才有效果。通过正交实验得到酶解的最佳工艺是:在可可粉的天然pH下,加入0.5%(w/w)的淀粉酶、2%(w/w)的纤维素酶,0.2%(w/w)的木聚糖酶,在50℃下作用4h。     

Effect of Germination Moisture and Time on Pearl Millet Malt Quality — With Respect to Its Opaque and Lager Beer Brewing Potential

The effect of germination moisture and time on pearl millet malt quality was investigated. Two pearl millet varieties SDMV 89004 and 91018 were germinated at 25°C under three different watering regimes for 5 days. As with sorghum malting, diastatic power, beta‐amylase activity, free α‐amino nitrogen (FAN), hot water extract and malting loss all increased with level of watering. However, pearl millet malt had a much higher level of beta‐amylase and higher FAN than sorghum malt and a similar level of extract. Malting losses were similar or lower than with sorghum. Thus, it appears that pearl millet malt has perhaps even better potential than sorghum malt in lager beer brewing, at least as a barley malt extender, especially in areas where these grains are cultivated and barley cannot be economically cultivated. Also, its increased use in commercial opaque beer brewing, where sorghum malt is currently used, could be beneficial.     

Effect of steam cooking on the residual enzymatic activity of potatoes cv. Agria

BACKGROUND: The aim of this work was to study the influence of steam cooking on pectin methylesterase (PME) and endogenous α‐ and β‐amylase activities in different tissues (cortex and pith) of raw and heat‐treated potatoes cv. Agria. Three different cooking temperatures were chosen (55, 70 and 85 °C). For each cooking trial, time–temperature profiles were recorded and the degree of cooking was expressed in terms of cooking factor. RESULTS: Steam cooking contributed to significantly activate PME at 55 °C and to reduce its activity at the final processing temperature (85 °C), with the highest amount in the cortex (0.3745 ± 0.0007 µmol galacturonic acid (GA) g^?1 fresh weight (FW) min^?1) compared with the pith (0.2617 ± 0.0012 µmol GA g^?1 FW min^?1). The presence of heat‐labile and heat‐stable isoforms of PME in the considered potato tissues was also assumed. Heat treatment by steam resulted in a significant decrease in endogenous α‐ and β‐amylase activities in both tissues compared with the raw potato, though without complete deactivation. Starch‐degrading enzymes were also found to be differently distributed in the raw tuber. CONCLUSION: Steam cooking affected in different ways the assessed residual enzymatic activity in the considered tissues of potatoes cv. Agria. Further research is needed to confirm the results obtained. Copyright © 2011 Society of Chemical Industry     

Effect of the Malting Barley Variety (Hordeum vulgare L) on Fermentability1

The influence of the malting barley genotype on the apparent attenuation limit (AAL) was investigated. The AAL level correlated closely with the maltose concentration in the wort but was not affected by other fermentable sugars or by the total carbohydrate content. The chemical composition, modification, amylolytic enzyme activities and several starch properties of selected malts were studied in detail. Variations in the maltose concentration could almost solely be traced back to genotype‐dependent disparities of β‐amylase thermostability. These differences are due to interallelic polymorphisms of the β‐amylase gene and are easily detected by PCR. Hence, PCR primers offer remarkable prospects for breeding barley on the basis of a marker‐assisted selection (MAS).     

Characterization of honey amylase

ABSTRACT:  The major α-amylase in honey was characterized. The optimum pH range and temperature were determined for the enzyme as 4.6 to 5.3 and 55 °C, respectively. The enzyme was stable at pH values from 7 to 8. The half-lives of the purified enzyme at different temperatures were determined. The activation energy for heat inactivation of honey amylase was 114.6 kJ/mol. The enzyme exhibited Michaelis–Menten kinetics with soluble starch and gave K _M and V _max values of 0.72 mg/mL and 0.018 units/mL, respectively. The enzyme was inhibited by CuCl (34.3%), MgCl₂ (22.4%), and HgCl₂ (13.4%), while CaCl₂, MnCl₂, and ZnSO₄ did not have any effect. Starch had a protective effect on thermal stability of honey amylase. Therefore, it might be critical to process or control the amylase in honey before incorporation into starch-containing foods to aid in the preservation of starch functionality. One step could involve heat treating honey with other ingredients, especially those that dilute and acidify the honey environment.     

THE EFFECTS OF MASHING TEMPERATURE AND MASH THICKNESS ON WORT CARBOHYDRATE COMPOSITION

Temperature and mash thickness are shown to affect both mash performance and enzyme activity. Alpha amylase was found to be considerably more resistant to heat inactivation than was beta amylase. This difference was reflected by changes in wort fermentability that were manifest at temperatures below those which affected levels of extract. Increasing the mashing temperature from 65°C to 80°C had only a slight effect on extract but reduced wort fermentability from over 70% to less than 30%. At 85°C and over, when temperature had a significant effect on alpha amylase, as well as on beta-amylase, extract was lost and starch was present in the wort. Diluting the mash with liquor had a similar effect to that of increasing temperature on both the amylolytic enzymes and on the mash performance. Thin mashes contained more starch and fewer fermentable sugars than did thick mashes at the same temperature. These changes can be related to the stability of the amylolytic enzymes.
