Method for preparing short-clustered dextrin

Abstract

The present disclosure discloses a method for preparing short-clustered dextrin, and belongs to the field of bio-modified starch. The method includes: collaboratively modifying to-be-modified starch by adopting Ro-GBE and Gt-GBE. The present disclosure utilizes two starch branching enzymes from different microorganism sources to collaboratively modify corn starch. The Ro-GBE is firstly added for pretreatment, then the Gt-GBE is added. The Ro-GBE catalyzes the to-be-modified starch to form a chain segment structure which is more conducive to further utilization for the Gt-GBE, thin and long starch molecule is transformed into short-clustered structure under the catalysis of Gt-GBE, and thus the slow digestibility of modified products is more obvious. Further, by changing the addition amount of Ro-GBE, modification time and the state of to-be-modified starch, the synergistic effect between the two branching enzyme is promoted, and the branching degree is improved, thus the SDS content and the RS content are further improved.

Example 1

Effects of Separate Modification by Gt-GBE on the Content of Rapidly Digestible Starch in Modified Product

(14) Corn starch is dissolved in water to obtain 10% starch slurry. After gelatinization with boiling water, the Gt-GBE (25 U/g dry-basis starch) is added to treat for 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 h at a constant temperature of 50° C. A boiling water bath is conducted to terminate the reaction. Freeze drying is conducted to obtain modified samples. The digestibility of modified starch measured with reference to the Englyst in-vitro simulated digestion method is as shown in Table 1. A control group represents the digestibility of gelatinized corn starch before modification treatment.

(15) Results show that under action of the separate Gt-GBE, compared with the control group, when modification treatment is conducted for 10 h, the RDS content reduces by

(16) $20.8\%\left(\frac{77.9-61.7}{77.9}\times 100\%\right),$
the SDS content increases by

(17) $134\%\left(\frac{21.6-9.2}{9.2}\times 100\%\right),$
and the RS content increases by

(18) $28.5\%\left(\frac{16.7-13.0}{13.0}\times 100\%\right).$
It can be known that during the separate modification by the Gt-GBE, the SDS proportion increases significantly. The reason may be that the slow digestibility of the product is improved significantly by a highly-branched structure generated under action of the Gt-GBE.

Example 2

Effects of Separate Modification by Ro-GBE on the Content of Rapidly Digestible Starch in Modified Product

(20) Corn starch is dissolved in water to obtain 25% starch slurry. After gelatinization with boiling water, Ro-GBE (30 U/g dry-basis starch) is added to treat for 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 h at a constant temperature of 65° C. A boiling water bath is conducted to terminate a reaction. Freeze drying is conducted to obtain modified samples. The digestibility of modified starch measured with reference to the Englyst in-vitro simulated digestion method is as shown in Table 2. A control group represents the digestibility of gelatinized corn starch before modification treatment.

(21) Results show that under action of the separate Ro-GBE, compared with the control group, when the treatment is conducted for 2 h, the RDS content reduces by

(22) $12.5\%(\frac{77.9-68.2}{77.9}\times 100\%),$
but subsequently as the treatment time increases, the RDS content increases. And when treatment is conducted for 10 h, the RDS content even exceeds the control group where the Ro-GBE is not added for modification. The SDS content increases by

(23) $9.78\%\left(\frac{10.1-9.2}{9.2}\times 100\%\right),$
subsequently as the treatment time increases, the SDS content increases by

(24) $42.4\%\left(\frac{13.1-9.2}{9.2}\times 100\%\right)$
when the treatment is conducted for 4 h, but when continuing to prolong the treatment time to 10 h, the SDS content decreases, and even lower than the control group where the Ro-GBE is not added for modification. And the RS content increases by

(25) $66.9\%\left(\frac{21.7-13.0}{13.0}\times 100\%\right),$
and subsequently as the treatment time increases, the RS content slightly fluctuates.

(26) Compared with Example 1, the modification effect within relatively short Ro-GBE treatment time is better. And the RDS content increases again with the prolonging of treatment time. The reason may be that the hydrolysis of the Ro-GBE is relatively high, so that more free short chains and small-molecule saccharides are generated when the treatment time is relatively longer, which are not conductive to the slow digestibility of the product.

(28) A double-enzyme collaborative modification method adopted by the present application is introduced below to respectively analyze the effects of the addition amount of the Ro-GBE, the modification time of the Ro-GBE. And treating on granular starch with the Ro-GBE in a double-enzyme collaborative modification method is introduced in detail.

(29) Control groups in all Examples and Comparative Examples of the present disclosure represent the digestibility of gelatinized corn starch before modification treatment. But the RDS content, the SDS content and the RS content therein are slightly different, within an allowable error range.

Example 3

Effects of the Addition Amount of Ro-GBE on the Content of Rapidly Digestible Starch in Double-Enzyme Collaboratively-Modified Product

(30) Corn starch is dissolved in water to obtain 25% starch slurry. After gelatinization with boiling water, the Ro-GBE is added to treat for 2 h at a constant temperature of 65° C. A boiling water bath is conducted to terminate the reaction. Gt-GBE (25 U/g dry-basis starch) is added to modify for 10 h at a constant temperature of 50° C. Then the reaction is terminated. Freeze drying is conducted to obtain modified samples. The digestibility of modified starch measured with reference to the Englyst in-vitro simulated digestion method is shown in Table 3. The control group represents the digestibility of gelatinized corn starch before modification treatment.

(31) Results show that compared with Example 1, in the present example, the RDS content reduces by

(32) $31.6\%\left(\frac{61\mathrm{.7}-42.2}{61.7}\times 100\%\right)$
at most, the SDS content increases by

(33) $52.8\%(\frac{33.0-21.6}{21.6}\times 100\%)$
at most, and the RS content increases by

(34) 0$55.6\%\left(\frac{26.3-16.9}{16.9}\times 100\%\right)$
at most; and compared with Example 2, the RDS content reduces by

(35) $38.1\%\left(\frac{68.2-42.2}{68.2}\times 100\%\right)$
at most, the SDS content increases by

(36) $152\%\left(\frac{33.0-13.1}{13.1}\times 100\%\right)$
at most, and the RS content increases by

(37) $21.2\%\left(\frac{26\mathrm{.3}-21.7}{21.7}\times 100\%\right)$
at most.

(38) Compared with single-enzyme single-stage modification, the effect of double-enzyme two-stage modification is more significant. The RDS content reduces significantly, and the SDS content and the RS content increases to different degrees. It is speculated that the intermediate product formed with the Ro-GBE (30 U/g dry-basis starch) is more conductive to continuous treatment of the Gt-GBE so as to form highly-branched shortly-clustered dextrin.

Example 4

Effects of the Modification Time of Ro-GBE on the Content of Rapidly Digestible Starch in Double-Enzyme Collaboratively-Modified Product

(40) Corn starch is dissolved in water to obtain 25% starch slurry. After gelatinization with boiling water, Ro-GBE (30 U/g dry-basis starch) is added to modify at a constant temperature of 65° C. A boiling water bath is conducted to terminate the reaction. Gt-GBE (25 U/g dry-basis starch) is added to modify for 10 h at a constant temperature of 50° C. Then the reaction is terminated. Freeze drying is conducted to obtain modified samples. The digestibility of modified starch measured with reference to the Englyst in-vitro simulated digestion method is shown in Table 4. The control group represents the digestibility of gelatinized corn starch before modification treatment.

(41) Results show that compared with the control group, in a double-enzyme collaboratively-modified product with Ro-GBE treatment time of 2 h, the RDS content reduces by

(42) $46.9\%\left(\frac{77.9-39.8}{77.9}\times 100\%\right),$
the SDS content increases by

(43) $226\%\left(\frac{30.0-9.2}{9.2}\times 100\%\right),$
and the RS content increases by

(44) $89.9\%\left(\frac{30.2-13.0}{13.0}\times 100\%\right).$
Compared with the optimal modified products in Example 1 and Example 2, the RDS content reduces by

(45) $35.5\%\left(\frac{61\mathrm{.7}-39.8}{61.7}\times 100\%\right)\mathrm{and}$$41.6\%\left(\frac{68\mathrm{.2}-39.8}{68.2}\times 100\%\right)$
respectively. It is shown that under collaborative modification of two branching enzymes from different sources, the changes in the fine structure of starch is more conductive to the improvement of slow digestibility thereof. The RDS content reduces significantly, and the proportions of SDS and RS both increases significantly.

Example 5

Effects of Further Shortening of Ro-GBE Modification Time on the Content of Rapidly Digestible Starch in Double-Enzyme Collaboratively-Modified Product

(47) Corn starch is dissolved in water to obtain 25% starch slurry. After gelatinization with boiling water, Ro-GBE (30 U/g dry-basis starch) is added to modify at a constant temperature of 65° C. A boiling water bath is conducted to terminate the reaction. Gt-GBE (25 U/g dry-basis starch) is added to modify for 10 h at a constant temperature of 50° C. Then the reaction is terminated. Freeze drying is conducted to obtain modified samples. The digestibility of modified starch measured with reference to the Englyst in-vitro simulated digestion method is shown in Table 5. The control group represents the digestibility of gelatinized corn starch before modification treatment.

(48) Results show that although the treatment time of Ro-GBE is shortened to 10 min, the RDS content in a double-enzyme collaboratively-modified product may still be kept at the level of about 40%. It is shown that the modification efficiency of Ro-GBE is relatively high, and the significant effect may be haven within the relatively short time. Moreover, to sum up, the treatment of Ro-GBE within relatively short time is not only conductive to further action of Gt-GBE, but also has an advantage in saving energy.

Example 6

Effects of Treating Granular Starch with Ro-GBE on the Content of Rapidly Digestible Starch in Double-Enzyme Collaboratively-Modified Product

(50) Corn starch is dissolved in water to obtain 25% starch slurry. After preheating, Ro-GBE is added to modify at a constant temperature of 65° C. A boiling water bath is conducted to terminate the reaction. Gt-GBE (25 U/g dry-basis starch) is added to modify for 10 h at a constant temperature of 50° C. Then the reaction is terminated. Freeze drying is conducted to obtain modified samples. The digestibility of modified starch measured with reference to the Englyst in-vitro simulated digestion method is shown in Table 6.

(51) According to Table 6-1 to Table 6-4, results show that when granular starch is treated with the Ro-GBE for 10 h, and with the increasing of the addition amount from 25 U/g to 30 U/g (referring to 6-1 and 6-2), the RDS content reduces by 10.7%. When the enzyme-added amount continues increasing to 35 U/g and 40 U/g, the RDS contents have no significant change.

(52) According to Table 6-2, when the addition amount of Ro-GBE is 30 U/g, with the prolonging of the modification time to 10 h, the RDS content reduces to a minimum value of 41.9%, and the SDS content and the RS content increase to 26.8% and 31.3%, respectively.

(53) Compared with Example 3 and Example 4, in a double-enzyme two-stage modification process, the change trends with the addition amount of Ro-GBE increasing are the same. Thus it can be seen that 30 U/g dry-basis starch is the optimal addition amount. But for the treatment of gelatinized starch, appropriate time is less than 2 h (it may be 10 to 60 min), and too long time will enhance hydrolysis, resulting in the increase in the RDS content. For the granular starch, the appropriate time is about 10 h. Since the protection of the crystal structure of granular starch, amylose and amylopectin are attacked more slowly by enzyme, and thus the better modification effect can be realized with relatively longer modification time.

(58) In order to further prove the advantages of high product yield and short modification time of the short-clustered dextrin, the present application that adopts the two starch branching enzymes (Ro-GBE and Gt-GBE) is compared with the application that adopts the cyclodextrin glycosyltransferase (CGT) collaborative with Gt-GBE.

Comparative Example 1

Advantages of Modification with Ro-GBE Collaborative with Gt-GBE Over Modification with CGT Collaborative with Gt-GBE

(59) Corn starch is dissolved in water to obtain the 25% starch slurry. After gelatinization with boiling water, the CGT (3 U/g dry-basis starch) is added and the mixture reacts at a constant temperature of 45° C. for different time. A boiling water bath is conducted to terminate the reaction. Then the Gt-GBE (25 U/g dry-basis starch) is added. The reaction is continued at a constant temperature of 50° C. for 10 h. Then the reaction is terminated. Freeze drying is conducted to obtain modified samples. The determined in-vitro digestibility is shown in Table 7-1.

(60) TABLE-US-00010 TABLE 7-1 Effects of reaction time on the digestibility of samples Reaction time of RDS SDS RS Test projects CGT (h) content (%) content (%) content (%) Control group 0 74.3 ± 0.6  9.8 ± 0.9 15.9 ± 0.5 Solution 1 2 55.7 ± 0.8 17.1 ± 0.6 27.2 ± 0.5 Solution 2 4 50.7 ± 0.6 16.3 ± 0.5 33.0 ± 0.9 Solution 3 6 48.6 ± 0.9 15.2 ± 1.2 36.2 ± 1.1 Solution 4 8 50.1 ± 0.8 12.9 ± 0.6 37.0 ± 0.6

(61) According to Table 7-1, it can be known that with the CGT treatment for 6 h and continuous Gt-GBE treatment for 10 h, the RDS content in a product may reduce to 48.6%, the RS content may be improved to 36.2%, and in this case, the SDS content is 15.2%. Results show that when the reaction time of Gt-GBE is fixed, as the CGT-treatment time prolongs, the RS content increases, the RDS content reduces, but the SDS content shows a slightly reducing trend.

(62) Compared with the modified starch obtained through the treatment of Ro-GBE collaborative with Gt-GBE, the present comparative example with the lowest RDS content is shown in Table 3, the lowest RDS content is higher by about

(63) $15\%\left(\frac{48.6-42.2}{42.2}\times 100\%\right).$
And the SDS content significantly reduces, the RS content significantly increases. The reason may be that under the treatment of CGT, the cyclization reaction plays a primary role, so that the content of formed cyclodextrin increases; and the cyclodextrin and highly-branched starch chains may form a V-shaped crystalline structure, but through re-gelatinization with a boiling water bath, the V-shaped crystalline structure will disappear, the SDS content is lowered, and only a better ability to resist digestion is shown.

(64) It needs to be illustrated that since the CGT and the Ro-GBE are different enzymes, the present application compares their respective products under the optimal reaction conditions. The Ro-GBE is added to modify at a constant temperature of 65° C. in Example 3 and Example 4, and the CGT is added to modify at a constant temperature of 45° C. in the present example. Moreover, the addition amounts of CGT and Ro-GBE are also different. In order to further illustrate that the modification adopting the Ro-GBE collaborative with the Gt-GBE is superior to the modification adopting the CGT collaborative with the Gt-GBE. The Comparative Example 2 is provided below, and the addition amounts of CGT and Ro-GBE are set to be the same to conduct comparison.

(65) Corn starch is dissolved in water to obtain the 25% starch slurry. After gelatinization, the CGT (30 U/g dry-basis starch) is added and the mixture reacts at a constant temperature of 45° C. for different time. A boiling water bath is conducted to terminate the reaction. The Gt-GBE (25 U/g dry-basis starch) is added. The reaction is continued at a constant temperature of 50° C. for 10 h. Then the reaction is terminated. Freeze drying is conducted to obtain modified samples. As shown in Table 7-2, the determined in-vitro digestibility is provided.

(67) According to Table 7-2, it can be known that with the CGT treatment for 6 h and continuous Gt-GBE treatment for 8 h, the RDS content in modified sample may reduce to 49.5%, and the RS content may increase to 38.6%. In this case, the SDS content is 11.9%. Results show that when the reaction time of Gt-GBE is fixed, as the CGT-treatment time prolongs, the RS content increases, the RDS content reduces, but the SDS content shows a slightly reducing trend. This modification result is similar to that obtained through the CGT (3 U/g dry-basis starch) treatment, as shown in Table 7-1. Therefore, the excessive addition of CGT does not further have a better improving effect on digestibility.

(68) Based on the data of above Comparative Example 1 and Comparative Example 2, compared with above Example 4, it can be known that the present application adopts the two starch branching enzymes (Ro-GBE and Gt-GBE) to conduct collaborative modification, which makes the modification time shorter and the product yield higher. when the treatment time is less than or equal to 2 h, the RDS content reduces to about 39.8%, the SDS content increases to about 30.0%, and the RS content increases to about 30.2%. While the existing modification adopting CGT collaborative with Gt-GBE needs the 6 h treatment so that the RDS content reduces to about 48.6%. But this data is still larger than the value of about 39.8%.

(69) Although the SDS content has increased to a relatively high value of about 17.1% after 2 h treatment, which adopts the CGT collaborative with Gt-GBE, the SDS content shows a reducing trend as the treatment time continuously increases.

(70) Thus, the present application adopts the two starch branching enzymes to conduct the modification, the modification time is shorter, and the product yield is relatively higher.

(71) From the perspective of product structure, the modified starch obtained through the treatment of the two starch branching enzymes has the higher stability and slower digestion rate, and the more significant effect on maintaining glucose homeostasis.
