The aim of this study was to quantify the buffer attributes (value, power, range and optimum) of two model systems for whole human resting saliva, the purified proteins from whole human resting saliva and single proteins. Two model systems, the first containing amyloglucosidase and lysozyme, and the second containing amyloglucosidase and alpha-amylase, were shown to provide, in combination with...

A mathematical model is described for the simultaneous saccharification and ethanol fermentation (SSF) of sago starch using amyloglucosidase (AMG) and Zymomonas mobilis. By introducing the degree of polymerization (DP) of oligosaccharides produced from sago starch treated with c~-amylase, a series of MichaelisMenten equations were obtained. After determining kinetic parameters from the results ...

Cereal Chem. 73(6):759-761 Total dietary fiber (TDF) was measured by the AOAC method 985.29 hydrolyzed after 30 min, while rice and maize starch remained =42 and using 30 and 60 min of amyloglucosidase incubation. Resistant starch 50%, respectively, of TDF values after 60 min. As expected in the was determined in the TDF residues after gelatinization, dissolution with varietal rices, when amylo...
