Currently, special attention is paid to the study of effectiveness immobilization method—microencapsulation. The aim research obtain a complex enzyme preparation from pepsin and papain by sequential microencapsulation enzymes in pseudo-boiling layer evaluate its tenderizing effect on pork. objects were enzymes: papain, which microencapsulated protective coating maltodextrin. It was found that b...

Octenyl succinic anhydride (OSA) modified starch is widely used in emulsion and encapsulation applications. The functionality of OS starch depends on its molecular structure. A systematic study was performed to investigate the reaction of OSA with granular waxy maize (WM) starch, microporous WM starch and soluble maltodextrin. OS starches were prepared in an aqueous slurry system, and the degre...

A food's reward value is dependent on its caloric content. Furthermore, a food's acute reward value also depends on hunger state. The drive to obtain rewards (reward sensitivity), however, differs between individuals. Here, we assessed the association between brain responses to calories in the mouth and trait reward sensitivity in different hunger states. Firstly, we assessed this in data from ...

BACKGROUND & AIMS Dietary fructans exacerbate symptoms in some, but not all, adults with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). We sought to determine whether fructans worsen symptoms in children with IBS and whether clinical and psychosocial factors, and/or gas production, can identify those who are fructan sensitive. METHODS We performed a double-blind placebo-controlled (maltodextrin) cross-over ...

Phosphorylases are key enzymes of carbohydrate metabolism. Structural studies have provided explanations for almost all features of control and substrate recognition of phosphorylase but one question remains unanswered. How does phosphorylase recognize and cleave an oligosaccharide substrate? To answer this question we turned to the Escherichia coli maltodextrin phosphorylase (MalP), a non-regu...
