Abstract:
Potato flour is used in bakery products, extruded products and snacks. However, it displays weaker gel strengths and thus the wholesome utility is curtailed significantly. To improve viscoelastic properties and stability of potato gels, herein potato flour was treated with laccase and peroxidase to create a protein network structure leading to stable gels. The results revealed that the secondary structure of potato proteins altered upon the enzyme treatment. The gels of peroxidase-treated potato flour (PPF) and laccase-treated potato flour (LPF) displayed larger anti-shear ability, thermal stability and stronger three-dimensional network structure compared to the native potato gel. The PPF and LPF gels exhibited stronger viscoelastic properties and structural stability compared to peroxidase-treated potato protein and laccase-treated potato protein gels. The outcome serves as a theoretical basis to improve the properties of potato gels and to promote the designing and the development of novel potato flour based functional food.

01:15Hydrolysis
Hydrolysis is a chemical reaction in which the addition of water breaks down a polymer into its simpler monomer units. For example, peptides break into amino acids, carbohydrates into simple sugars, and DNA into nucleotides. Enzymes often facilitate these processes.
Hydrolysis Reverses Dehydration Synthesis
Complex carbohydrates can be broken down by breaking the bonds between individual sugar units. The reaction breaks a glycosidic bond as water is added to the compound. The...
