title: Enzyme modification of starch granules: formation and retention of cyclomaltodextrins inside starch granules by reaction of cyclomaltodextrin glucanosyltransferase with solid granules.
abstract: Cyclomaltodextrin glucanosyltransferase (CGTase) was adsorbed into starch granules and allowed to react at 37 degrees C. The reaction was conducted with the granules removed from an aqueous environment, but containing 50% w/w water inside the granule. Reaction for 20 h gave a maximum of 1.4%, w/w of cyclodextrins (CDs) inside the granule. Waxy maize and maize starches gave the highest amounts of CDs (1.3 and 1.4%, respectively), with tapioca and amylomaize-7 starches giving about 50% less (0.9 and 0.6%, respectively). Reaction of a combination of CGTase and isoamylase with solid starch granules gave a 2.6-fold increase in the formation of CDs, with a maximum yield of 3.4 and 100% retention inside waxy maize starch granules.
