Abstract:

A process for producing a starch comprises treating a feed starch that comprises amylopectin with glucanotransferase to produce a chain-extended starch, treating the chain-extended starch with a debranching enzyme to produce a starch product that comprises amylose fragments, crystallizing at least part of the starch product, heating the starch product in the presence of moisture, treating the starch product with alpha-amylase, and washing the starch product to remove at least some non-crystallized starch. The product of this process has a relatively high total dietary fiber content.

US Classification:

426 48

Abstract:

A process for producing a starch comprises treating a feed starch that comprises amylopectin with glucanotransferase to produce a chain-extended starch, and treating the chain-extended starch with a debranching enzyme to produce a starch product that comprises amylose fragments. In certain embodiments, the process further comprises, crystallizing at least part of the starch product, heating the starch product in the presence of moisture, treating the starch product with alpha-amylase, and washing the starch product to remove at least some non-crystallized starch, wherein the degree of polymerization of the starch product is increased by increasing the amylose content of the feed starch or is decreased by decreasing the amylose content of the feed starch. The product of this process can have a relatively high total dietary fiber content, a relatively high heat resistance, or both.

A23L 1/24
A23L 1/39

US Classification:

426 64, 426589, 426661

Abstract:

We disclose a composition comprising greater than about 95% d.s.b. of a starch comprising short chain amylose having an average degree of polymerization (DP) from about 20 to about 150, wherein an aqueous slurry comprising about 20% d.s.b. of the composition has a minimum yield stress of at least 400 Pa. We also disclose a method of preparing the composition comprising contacting a starch paste with a 4-α-glucanotransferase, to yield a chain-extended starch; contacting the chain-extended starch with a debranching enzyme, to yield a debranched starch; crystallizing the debranched starch, to yield a crystallized debranched starch; and shearing the crystallized debranched starch, to yield the composition. We also disclose a food formulation comprising a foodstuff and the composition.

International Classification:

A23L 1/09
C13K 13/00

US Classification:

426658, 127 30, 127 42

Abstract:

A food product comprises an oligosaccharide composition that is digestion resistant or slowly digestible. The oligosaccharide composition can be produced by a process that comprises producing an aqueous composition that comprises at least one oligosaccharide and at least one monosaccharide by saccharification of starch, membrane filtering the aqueous composition to form a monosaccharide-rich stream and an oligosaccharide-rich stream, and recovering the oligosaccharide-rich stream. Alternatively, the oligosaccharide composition can be produced by a process that comprises heating an aqueous feed composition that comprises at least one monosaccharide or linear saccharide oligomer, and that has a solids concentration of at least about 70% by weight, to a temperature of at least about 40 C., and contacting the feed composition with at least one catalyst that accelerates the rate of cleavage or formation of glucosyl bonds for a time sufficient to cause formation of non-linear saccharide oligomers, wherein a product composition is produced that contains a higher concentration of non-linear saccharide oligomers than linear saccharide oligomers.
