Amylase fungal

The experiments described above can be repeated with enzymes from different sources, such as fungal amylase, amyloglucosidase, and a mixture of equivalent concentrations of three enzymes, bacterial amylase, fungal amylase, and amyloglucosidase. 

In comparison with fungal amylase, fungal hemicellulase is more functional. Hemi-cellulase is a complex mixture of enzymes. It hydrolyses water-insoluble hemicellu-lose into water-soluble pentosan and, as a consequence, has a great impact on dough water management.

Starch is converted enzymatically toglucose either by diastase present in sprouting grain or by fungal amylase. The resulting dextrose is fermented to ethanol with the aid of yeast, producing CO2 as a coproduct. Other by-products depend on the type of process. 

An overdose of malt flour will introduce too much enzyme activity in the dough, potentially reducing the product to a sticky syrup. Fungal a-amylase is now much more commonly used than malt flour. However, some malt flour is still used, particularly in wholemeal bread. 

Other additions to flour are fungal a-amylase malt flour, malt grains or other mixtures of grains. Alternatively, the flour can be supplied untreated by the miller and any treatments needed can be applied in the bakery. This could be an attractive option for a bakery that made a mix of products, some of which needed untreated flour while others, e.g. bread, needed flour treatment. 

The reason for the non-response of the Hagberg Falling Number to fungal a-amylase is that it is inactivated at 75°C rather than the 87°C of cereal a-amylase. It turns out that fungal a-amylase preparations improve loaf volumes considerably. Most of this effect is produced by a lipoxygenase enzyme that is also present. 

It has since been discovered that the very considerable increase in loaf volume that fungal a-amylase preparations can produce is not caused by the amylase but by a lipoxygenase that is also present. 

The Hagberg Falling Number test only just qualifies for this section as it is an effective way of measuring the a-amylase activity of wheat or flour. It has the considerable advantage that it is unaffected by any added fungal a-amylase. In addition, it only requires a supply of distilled water and electricity - there is no need for chemical glassware or any reagents. 

The application of enzymes has a long history in the flour, milling and baking industries (Haarasilta and Pullinen, 1992). Cereal-based enzymes have been used for decades in the form of different malt products, such as malt flour, malt extract and malt-based improvers. The use of fungal hr-amylases became widespread during the 1960 s. hr-Amylases produce dextrins, which ate further broken down to sugars by naturally...
