Thermoproteus uzoniensis 4-α-glucanotransferase catalyzed production of a thermo-reversible potato starch gel with superior rheological properties and freeze-thaw stability

Xiaoxiao Li et al.

Summary: In this study, five different starches were modified using enyzmes, and the thermo-reversibility of the modified starch gels was evaluated. The results showed that modified potato starch exhibited thermo-reversibility and improved stability. This suggests that modified potato starch has the potential to be used as a substitute for kappa-carrageenan and other hydrocolloids in food applications.

Enzymatic potato starch modification and structure-function analysis of six diverse GH77 4-alpha-glucanotransferases

Stefan Jarl Christensen et al.

Summary: 4-alpha-glucanotransferase mediated glucan transfer allows for the production of clean label starch ingredients with unique gelling properties. Researchers have studied six different GH77 members and found that four of them exhibit starch modifying activity, leading to a decrease in amylose content, elongation of amylopectin chains, and the formation of firm starch gels. The enzyme Tt4 alpha GT from Thermus thermophilus showed the highest temperature optimum (73 degrees C) and the best potato starch modifying efficacy compared to the other enzymes.

Deciphering external chain length and cyclodextrin production with starch catalyzed by cyclodextrin glycosyltransferase

Hangyan Ji et al.

Summary: This study investigated the relationship between external chain length (ECL) and cyclodextrins (CDs) production. By hydrolyzing waxy maize starch with beta-amylase, it was found that ECL was positively correlated with CD contents. This research provides a new perspective for improving CD production.

Controlling the Fine Structure of Glycogen-like Glucan by Rational Enzymatic Synthesis

Jialin Liu et al.

Summary: By adjusting the ratio of enzyme activities, researchers were able to synthesize GnG with different branching patterns, leading to either a compact or loose structure depending on the ratio of GP/BE. Low GP/BE ratios resulted in larger and more tightly packed GnG molecules, while high GP/BE ratios produced smaller and more loosely structured GnG molecules.

Functional diversity of three tandem C-terminal carbohydrate-binding modules of a β-mannanase

Marie Sofie Moller et al.

Summary: The study shows that a bacterium Saccharophagus degradans produces an endo-beta-mannanase with three phylogenetically distinct family 10 CBMs. Among these, only the C-terminal CBM10-3 binds strongly to microcrystalline cellulose. The different CBMs in the enzyme play specific roles in polysaccharide binding, with CBM10-3 being crucial.
