the rose sawfly, arge rosae linnaeus, is one of the most destructive pests of rose bushes in the north of iran. nowadays, many attempts have been made to reduce pesticide application by looking for new methods of pest control. a non chemical method for controlling insect pests including a. rosae can be achieved by using genetically engineered plants expressing carbohydrase inhibitors. therefore...

besides the high starch content, sweet potato contains endogenous amylases where the two predominants are - and β-amylases. sweet potato is thought to be a promising source of β -amylase since β -amylase is one of the major protein in the tubers. this investigation has focused on the properties of β amylase from white-flesh sweet potato that has been grown in iran as a potential source for indu...

In maltose syrup production, one of the critical processing stages is starch conversion process. During this process, reaction time and enzyme concentrations are two important parameters to obtain standard sugar spectrum. The purpose study is; i) find optimum during ii) determine process control dynamic in production. different amounts beta alpha-amylase enzymes (0.10, 0.15, 0.20 0.25 ml β-amyl...

Transient starch in leaves is synthesized by various biosynthetic enzymes in the chloroplasts during the light period. This paper presents the first mathematical model for the (bio)synthesis of the chain-length distribution (CLD) of transient starch to aid the understanding of this synthesis. The model expresses the rate of change of the CLD in terms of the actions of the enzymes involved. Usin...

The data presented in this article are related to the research article titled "Immobilization nd topochemical mechanism of a new β-amylase extracted from Pergularia tomentosa" (Lahmar et al., 2017) [1]. This article documented information on the determination of the molecular weight of the β-amylase, the method of its immobilization and a comparison of the kinetic mechanism between the free and...

OBJECTIVE The insulin-pancreatic acinar axis may play a major role in pancreatic function. Amylase is an exocrine enzyme that is produced by pancreatic acinar cells, and low serum amylase levels may be associated with endocrine diseases, such as metabolic syndrome and diabetes. We hypothesized that low serum amylase levels may be associated with impaired islet β cell function in type 2 diabetes...

Various pulses are a good source of β-Amylase and this enzyme could find promising application of hydrolysis of starch. Hydrolysis of starch by β-amylases has couple of food and pharmaceutical applications. In the present work, β-Amylases from a variety of germinating pulses (Vigna radiata, Cicer arietinum (black), Vigna mungo, Glycine max, Cicer arietinum(white) were extracted and characterize...

Three major oat components, β-glucan, starch, and protein, and their interactions were evaluated for the impact on viscosity of heated oat slurries and in vitro bile acid binding. Oat flour from the experimental oat line "N979" (7.45% β-glucan) was mixed with water and heated to make oat slurry. Heated oat slurries were treated with α-amylase, lichenase, and/or proteinase to remove starch, β-gl...
