Treatment of recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS) remains, to date, empirical and non-specific. The main goals of therapy are to minimize pain and functional disabilities as well as decrease inflammatory reactions and frequency of recurrences. Locally, symptomatically acting modalities are the standard treatment in simple cases of RAS. Examples include topical anaesthetics and analgesics, antise...

In this study, a novel α-amylase was cloned from Bifidobacterium longum and named BiLA. The enzyme exhibited optimal activity at 20 °C and a pH value of 5.0. Kinetic analysis using various carbohydrate substrates revealed that BiLA had the highest k(cat/)K(m) value for amylose. Interestingly, analysis of the enzymatic reaction products demonstrated that BiLA specifically catalyzed the hydrolysi...

Gelatinized wheat, potato and waxy maize starches were treated enzymatically in order to increase the degree of branching of the amylopectin fraction and thereby change the starch degradation profile towards a higher proportion of slowly digestible starch (SDS). The materials were characterized by single-pulse (1)H HR-MAS NMR spectroscopy and in vitro digestion profile according to the Englyst ...

In order to improve the ability of starch absorb menthone, corn was modified by enzymatic treatment (amyloglucosidase and ?-amylase) combined with octenyl succinic anhydride (OSA) esterification. The oil absorption rate followed OSA (P-OSA) reached 101.33%, whereas that samples reverse action sequences (OSA-P) only 59.67%. degree substitution OSA-P also generally lower than P-OSA. At high addit...

The nature of undesirable and unfilterable haze particles observed by craft breweries remains nebulous presents a challenge when the aim is production bright beer. A commercial beer was studied in which brewery had sporadically encountered haze. In this study, it hypothesized that were formed due to increased concentrations proteins, polyphenols, and/or beta-glucans. Samples high low India Pale...

Glucose syrup is a valuable food ingredient produced by the hydrolysis of starch preferrably from maize. In this study, small-scale production process glucose wheat, maize and potato starches was investigated. Two-step ezymatic using ?–amylase amyloglucosidase for liquefaction saccharification, respectively, analyzed based on content final product. The optimization conditions conducted with dif...
