Action of Bacillus subtilis α‐amylase on native wheat starch

Abstract: Native starch granules from wheat have been subjected to enzymatic depolymerization with an alpha-amylase from Bacillus subtilis. Crystallites made from short-chain amylose and residues from mild acid hydrolysis have been also tested. Electron microscopy, particle size analysis, DSC, and x-ray diffractometry reveal that enzymatic degradation occurs granule by granule. Gel permeation chromatography shows off the macromolecular nature of the remaining material. In contrast, acid erodes simultaneously all the gra… Show more

“…As attested by B-type X-ray diffraction and the Maltese cross feature, the ultrastructure and crystallinity of starch granules after transit through the small intestine appeared to be similar to those of raw banana flour. However, the melting temperature was lower compared with that of initial banana flour (61 v. 69"), suggesting that the structures may have undergone alteration during digestion, as in the case of wheat starch in vitro (Colonna et al 1988). The decrease of enthalpy (from 17 to 11 mJ/mg 'insoluble' starch) may also have been due to the presence of other components such as proteins (Eliasson, 1983).…”

“…The kinetics of a-amylolysis of granular and gelatinized starch are characterized by an initial rapid hydrolysis phase followed by a slower phase. The reduction in the hydrolysis rale is probably caused by product (maltose and maltotriose) inhibition of the a-amylase activity (Colonna et al, 1988).…”

“…Those more susceptible areas are the less organized amorphous rings, whereas the crystalline lamella offers higher resistance to enzymatic erosion (OATES, 1997). However, Colonna, Buléon and Lemane (1988) suggested that α-amylase can simultaneously attack the crystalline and amorphous areas of starch granule, whereas Lauro et al (1999) reported that at the initial stage of hydrolysis of barley starch, both amorphous and crystalline areas were equally attacked by α-amylase. Nevertheless, the crystallinity and gelatinization enthalpy decreased after a long period of hydrolysis suggesting that an extensive hydrolysis effectively destroys and dissolves the crystalline areas of the granule (HOOVER; ZHOU, 2003).…”
