Evaluation of β-amylase Activity of Sweet Potato (Ipomoea batatas) Cultivated in Iran
نویسندگان
چکیده مقاله:
Besides the high starch content, sweet potato contains endogenous amylases where the two Predominants are - and β-amylases. Sweet potato is thought to be a promising source of β -amylase since β -amylase is one of the major protein in the tubers. This investigation has focused on the properties of β amylase from white-flesh sweet potato that has been grown in Iran as a potential source for industrial applications. Protein was determined using Bradford method and the enzyme activity was evaluated by monitoring of starch hydrolysis by determination of reducing sugar. The effect of pH and temperature on the enzyme activity and stability was determined. β amylase had optimum pH of 5.5 and was stable from pH of 3.5 to 7.5 with the maximum activity at 55°C

متن کاملDisentangling the Origins of Cultivated Sweet Potato (Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam.)
Sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam., Convolvulaceae) counts among the most widely cultivated staple crops worldwide, yet the origins of its domestication remain unclear. This hexaploid species could have had either an autopolyploid origin, from the diploid I. trifida, or an allopolyploid origin, involving genomes of I. trifida and I. triloba. We generated molecular genetic data for a broad ...
متن کاملAnthocyanins in Purple Sweet Potato (Ipomoea batatas L.) Varieties
Anthocyanins from purple sweet potatoes can serve as natural colorants due to their high heat and light stability and are commonly used in juices, alcoholic beverages, jams, confectioneries, bread, snacks and noodles. There are several commercially available varieties of purple sweet potatoes, which can vary in storage root size, shape, and color. During the last decade sweet potato cultivars w...
متن کاملSynergistic interactions of begomoviruses with Sweet potato chlorotic stunt virus (genus Crinivirus) in sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas L.).
Three hundred and ninety-four sweet potato accessions from Latin America and East Africa were screened by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for the presence of begomoviruses, and 46 were found to be positive. All were symptomless in sweet potato and generated leaf curling and/or chlorosis in Ipomoea setosa. The five most divergent isolates, based on complete genome sequences, were used to study i...
متن کاملStructure of sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas) diversity in West Africa covaries with a climatic gradient
Sub-Saharan agriculture has been identified as vulnerable to ongoing climate change. Adaptation of agriculture has been suggested as a way to maintain productivity. Better knowledge of intra-specific diversity of varieties is prerequisites for the successful management of such adaptation. Among crops, root and tubers play important roles in food security and economic growth for the most vulnera...
