Changes in structure and aroma release from starch–aroma systems upon α-amylase addition

Release of aroma compounds from dry-fermented sausages as affected by antioxidant and saliva addition

The effect of the addition of an antioxidant and saliva on the release of aroma compounds from dry fermented sausages was studied by extracting the headspace at different times using solid phase micro-extraction technique. The compounds were analysed by gas chromatography using a FID detector and identified by mass spectrometry. The addition of butylated hydroxytoluene to dry fermented sausages...

Thermostable α-amylase from Lignocellulosic Residues Using Bacillus amyloliquefaciens

Production ofHalothermotolerant α-Amylase from aModerately Halophilic Bacterium, NesterenkoniaStrain F.

Production of extracellular amylase was demonstrated under conditions of high salinity in aerobically cultivated culture of a newly isolated moderately halophilic Gram-positive coccus, designated strain F in basal medium containing peptone from meat, yeast extract, NaCl (7% w/v) and starch. Biochemical and physiological characterization along with 16S rRNA sequence analysis placed F in the genu...

Molecular Engineering of the Geobacillus stearothermophilus α-Amylase and Cel5E from Chlostridium thermocellim; In Silico Approach

Background: Considering natural thermal stability, Geobacillus stearothermophilus amylase and Cel5E from Clostridium thermocellum are good candidates for industrial applications. To be compatible with the industrial applications, this enzyme should be stable in the high temperatures, so any improvement in their thermal stability is valuable.Objectives: Us...

Effect of Cytochalasin B and Colchicine on Α-amylase Release from Rat Parotid Tissue Slices

We have recently reported (3) that cytochalasin B, which disrupts microfilaments, and colchicine, which disrupts microtubules, interfered with the release of a-amylase from rat parotid tissue slices . Our observations on the effect of cytochalasin B on a-amylase release have been confirmed by Rifkin et al . (14) . Inhibitory actions of cytochalasin B or colchicine in several other systems have ...
