Transglucosylation of a-Glucosidase

open access: yesJournal of the Japanese Society of Starch Science, 1979
a-Glucosidases which are essentially hydrolase have been found to catalyze also the trans-glucosylation which means the transfer action on the acceptors other than water. The action patterns of some a-glucosidases were compared with one another. Sacch. logos a-glucosidase, an a-1, 6-transglucosylase, showed the transfer activity of a glucosyl moiety to

Nutritional, Functional, and Anti‐Hypercholesterolemic Properties of Sourdough Breads From Unripe Plantain, Tiger Nut, and Fenugreek Flours

open access: yesFood Chemistry International, EarlyView.
Composite sourdough breads were developed from blends of unripe plantain, tiger nut, and fenugreek flours. Optimized formulations improved pasting stability and enhanced texture, producing softer more elastic crumbs. The enriched breads contained higher dietary fiber and bioactive compounds, and significantly reduced serum cholesterol markers ...
