Optimization of encapsulation of maltogenic amylase into a mixture of maltodextrin and beeswax and its application in gluten-free bread

摘要

In this work maltogenic amylase (MAase) was encapsulated into the mixture of maltodexrin and beeswax (BW) for retarding staling of gluten-free bread. The effects of maltogenic amylase (MAase) concentration (8.2, 45, and 82 mg/ml), maltodextrin with dextrose equivalent (DE) 4-7 (MD) (1, 2.5, and 4%) and, BW (1, 2.5, and 4%) on the encapsulation efficiency (EE) of encapsulated enzyme were optimized using RSM. The optimized formulation was MAase with 8.2 mg/ml, MD 4% and BW 1%, leading to the highest EE (79.35%), thus chosen for subsequent experiments. The prepared particles were 1,190.50 nm with PDI of 0.336 and zeta potential of -8.30 mV. Surface morphologies of produced particles were almost spherical with layered appearance. Batter with this formulation led to higher cross over point in frequency sweep than free enzyme-loaded batter. Lower weight loss, higher volume index, darker crust color, whiter crumb color, more aerated microstructure, less hardness in crumb, and higher sensorial acceptability on the first day and during storage period in the breads containing encapsulated MAase was observed.
