A maltotetraose-producing enzyme (G4-amylase) was utilized to improve the baking performance of whole-grain wheat flour. Whole-grain bread dough prepared with G4-amylase showed reduced water absorption and increased development time, while the dough stability was not affected. Also, the G4-amylase-treated samples exhibited lower Mixolab torque values than the control upon heating and cooling.

AmyTM is a truncated mutant of the α-amylase of Bacillus stearothermophilus US100. It has been derived from the wild type amylase gene via a reading frame shift, following a tandem duplication of the mutant primer, associated to an Adenine base deletion. AmyTM was composed of 720 nucleotides encoding 240 amino acid residues out of 549 of the wild type.

For better understanding of the antistaling effect of starch-hydrolyzing enzymes, maltose-, maltotriose-, or maltotetraose-producing enzymes were applied to bread mix and the retrogradation rate of the bread was determined using differential scanning calorimetry. A new amylase isolated from Bacillus subtilis SUH 4-2, which selectively produces maltose and maltotriose from starch solution (amylase II), and another amylase from Streptomyces albus KSM-35, mainly producing maltotetraose and maltotriose (amylase IV), were cloned, characterized, and evaluated as antistaling agents for bread. Addition of amylase II or amylase IV significantly reduced the bread staling rate during 7 days of storage (p < 0.
