Description

AN ENZYME PREPARATION FOR IMPROVED BAKING QUALITY AND A PROCESS FOR PREPARING THE SAME
The present invention relates to an enzyme preparation for improved baking quality and a process for preparing the same
BACKGROUND
The process of baking has been in existence for at least 6000 years and has been exploited ever since to improve the process. TThe major components of baked products are polysaccharides ,proteins, fats & emulsified, enzymes, yeast and water. Of these enzymes are involved in the oxidative aging of flour, in dough development and in the formation of bread flavor & texture. They are also responsible for a number of adverse effects on the quality of the baked product. On the whole the overall effect of the indigenous enzymes of the grain, the microorganisms & of various added exogenous enzymes influence the quality of the baked product (Chemistry and physics of baking. Ed. J.M.V. Blanshard, P. J. Frazier & T. Galliard, Published by The Royal Society of Chemistry 1986).
Staling of baked products is a major negative influence & is defined as an increase of crumb firmness & a corresponding loss of moisture & freshness. During staling there is a gradual transition of the polysaccharide starch from an amorphous to a partially crystalline state. This increase in crystallinity called retrogradation is due to an inter or intra molecular association of starch molecules via hydrogen bonding . The staling process is influenced by time , temperature, moisture & presence of additives in the baked product (Enzymes used in the milling industry. Ter Haseborg .E Alimenta, 1988,27, 1,2- 10). Additives act by way of complexittg with the components of starch - amylose & amylopectin , thereby reducing their tendency to retrograde. Increasingly , enzymes too are being added to prevent staling. These antistaling enzymes are generally alpha & beta amylases, glucoamylases, glucose oxidase, peroxidases and lipoxygenases.
For a successful antistaling enzyme it is essential that they can act on raw starch rather than gelatinised starch & have an intermediate heat stability i.e. more stable than the conventional heat labile fungal amylases but less stable than the conventional heat stable bacterial amylases. These enzymes would thus provide an antistaling effect without adversely affecting the quality of the baked product , whereby they hydrolyse starch during the dough development process, but are completely heat inactivated before the baking process is completed. They thus prevent an excess of the breakdown products of starch - the dextrins which lead to an increased stickiness & gumminess of the bread (Enzymes for the baking industry . Van Oor M.G, Hamer, R.J Aliment. ,Equipos Tecnol,1993, 12,5,115 -18). The antistaling enzyme should, besides aiding fresh keeping of bread should not adversely affect the other desirable parameters of a baked product like loaf volume, color, softness, resilience & crumb texture (Synergistic effect of enzymes for breadbaking . Si,J.Qi Cereal Foods World 9, 1997, 42,10,802-807).
Co culture of different strains of bacteria - bacteria (Deanda et. al., Appl Environ Microbiol, 1996,62,12,4465-70), yeast -bacteria (Kim et. al., Biotechnol Lett, 1996, 18,9, 1031 -34), yeast -yeast , yeast / bacteria - fungi (Padmaja et. al. J. Sci Food Agric, 1993, 63,4,473-81; Marakis S.G Biotechnol Lett, 1992,14,11,1075-80) & fungi -fungi (Benzuela Elegado, Francisco, Fujio,Yusaku J. Gen. Appl. Microbiol.1993,39,6, 541-6; Gutierrez-Correa, Marcel; Tengerdy,Robert P , Biotechnol. Lett. 1997,19,7,665-667; Cellulase production by mixed fungi in solid substrate fermentation of bagasse (Duenas R et. Al. World T. Microbiol. Biotechnol ,1995 ,11,3,333-337) have been reported in literature. . These associations have been used to produce many specialty products like acetic acid, alcohol butanol & enzymes like xylanase (Xylanase production by fungal mixed culture solid substrate fermentation on sugarcane bagasse. Gutierrez-Correa, Marcel; Tengerdy,Robert P , Biotechnol. Lett. 1998,20,1,45 - 47) and cellulases (Denada et. al., Appl Environ Microbiol, 1996,62 12,4465-70). The latter has been obtained using Trichoderma & Aspergillus strains (Mixed culture solid substrate fermentation of Trichoderma reesei with Aspergillus niger on sugarcane bagasse.

Technol , 1998, Volume date 1999, 68,2,173-178; Production of cellulase on sugarcane bagasse by fungal mixed culture solid substrate fermentation.
