Maltogenic amylase suppressed starch retrogradation in baked products. Here, a maltogenic amylase-producing strain of bacteria was screened and identified as Bacillus licheniformis R-53. Its coding gene was cloned and over-expressed in Bacillus subtilis WB600. Recombinant maltogenic amylase BLMA exhibited activity of 3235 U/mg under optimal conditions (60 °C and pH 6.5), with a good thermostability and pH stability. Mixolab experiment showed that a concentration of 60 ppm BLMA significantly improved the operating characteristics of dough. Baking test indicated the recombinant BLMA reduced bread hardness by 2.12 times compared with the control. Compared with maltogenic amylase from Novozymes (Novamyl 3D BG) and Angel Yeast Co. Ltd. (MAM100), BLMA has better effect on improving the bread volume, and almost the same effect on reducing hardness, improving elasticity and maintaining sensory as Novamyl 3D BG. Adding BLMA improved bread quality, increased bread volume and decreased hardness during storage, thus extending its shelf life.

Mechanism analysis for the differences in multi-level structure, enzyme accessibility and pasting properties of starch granules caused by different hydrolysis pathways of maltogenic α-amylase.

The effect of pores distribution on the multi-scale structure, enzyme accessibility, and pasting properties of the waxy maize starch granules with the same degree of hydrolysis were examined. Increased maltogenic α-amylase (MA) dosage obviously increased the shallow pores number and the roughness, whereas extended time increased the holes depth. Despite achieving the same hydrolysis degree and specific surface area, samples with numerous shallow holes exhibited a higher mass fractal dimension, a lower, peak viscosity, final viscosity and setback.

The fermentation process of Chinese baijiu, a distinctive example of batch solid-state fermentation (BSSF), involves the recurrent use of the same raw material to optimize starch utilization. However, it is unclear which microorganisms are able to metabolize low concentration starch effectively. In this study, we successfully identified the key saccharifying microbiota that degraded low-concentration starch in the BSSF system by absolute quantification techniques.

Mechanism of maltogenic α-amylase modification on barley granular starches spanning the full range of amylose.

Amylopectin (AP)-only (APBS), normal (NBS), and amylose (AM) only (AOBS) barley starches were selected here to investigate catalysis pattern of maltogenic α-amylase (MA) on hydrolyzing AP and AM granular starches. MA shortened starch side chains with degree of polymerization (DP) 11-30. MA-treated APBS exhibited porous granular structures and dramatically increased degree of branching (DB, 17-20 %), and reduced ordered degrees, suggesting high hydrolysis and transglycosylation activities of MA.

Maltogenic amylase is a starch-hydrolyzing enzyme commonly used in bread baking and high-concentration maltose syrup production. However, low catalytic activity limits its industrial application. Improving catalytic activity based on molecular modification and directed evolution requires a High-Throughput Screening (HTS) method.
