BETA-GLUCAN ENZYMATIC HYDROLYSIS IN CEREAL GRAINS AND CEREAL PRODUCTS
Jan Michniewicz, Piotr Kołodziejczyk, Wiktor Obuchowski
ABSTRACT
The effect of various conditions of enzymatic hydrolysis as well as selected glucanolytic and amylolytic enzymes on carbohydrate system changes, necessary for quantitative determination of beta-glucan was evaluated. Hydrolysis of beta-glucan should be followed by elimination of starch in the sample using alpha-amylase Termamyl 120L and alpha-amyloglucosidase enzymes.
Key words:
beta-glucan determination, dietary fiber, alpha-amylase, alpha-glucosidase, beta-glucanase, beta-glucosidase, enzymes, cereal grain, cereal products.
