Product Introduction
4-α-Glycosyltransferase (4-alpha-glucanotransferase) is an enzyme from the glycosyltransferase family that catalyzes the transfer of glycosyl groups within starch. Derived from Aeribacillus pallidus, this enzyme is approved for use in the food industry by regulatory agencies such as the French Food Safety Agency and the Danish Veterinary and Food Administration. It primarily functions to inhibit starch retrogradation.
Production Process
4-α-Glycosyltransferase is produced via fermentation.
Functions and Applications
Catalyzes the transfer of glycosyl groups within starch molecules, leading to starch reorganization.
In starch processing, it can break down starch molecules and reduce starch viscosity.
In rice processing, it can alter starch structure to enhance rice elasticity.
Synthesizes resistant starch, which is less digestible and has prebiotic properties.
Gene engineering can produce genetically modified hybrid 4-α-Glycosyltransferase, increasing enzyme yield and stability.
Widely used in the food industry, playing a crucial role in the extraction, modification, and processing of starch sugars.
In summary, 4-α-Glycosyltransferase alters starch properties through glycosyl transfer and holds significant value in food processing.
