Abstract

Enzymatic modification of starch with exogenous enzymes is a highly efficient, safe, and versatile method for enhancing its properties and applications. By altering the molecular chain length and structure, enzymatic strategies confer novel digestive properties to starches. The digestive properties of starch significantly affect the body's absorption and energy acquisition rates. The benefits of starch digestion rate are not absolute. To meet the energy needs of different populations, enzymatically modified starch is being used as a novel energy supplement. However, enzymatic techniques for the digestion and energy supply of starch granules lack focus and comprehensive reviews. This review discusses the catalytic sites of different enzymes on starch granules, focusing on how the granule morphology, molecular composition, and crystal structure of starch affect its digestive properties. Additionally, the associations between digestion and nutritional functions (glucose homeostasis, energy supplementation, and intestinal health) are discussed. We emphasize the promising applications of enzymatically digested starch in sports energy supplements, special medical foods, and other sectors. Understanding the digestive properties of enzymatically digested starch and optimizing in vitro digestion technology and regulation systems will help develop high-quality nutritious carbohydrate products that meet the energy needs of different groups of people.

酶变性淀粉：结构、消化率、能量供应和应用

利用外源酶对淀粉进行酶修饰是一种高效、安全、通用的提高淀粉性能和应用的方法。通过改变分子链的长度和结构，酶的策略赋予淀粉新的消化特性。淀粉的消化特性显著影响人体的吸收和能量获取率。淀粉消化率的好处并不是绝对的。为了满足不同人群的能量需求，酶修饰淀粉正被用作一种新的能量补充。然而，用于淀粉颗粒消化和能量供应的酶技术缺乏重点和全面的综述。本文综述了不同酶对淀粉颗粒的催化位点，重点介绍了淀粉的颗粒形态、分子组成和晶体结构对其消化性能的影响。此外，还讨论了消化和营养功能（葡萄糖稳态、能量补充和肠道健康）之间的关系。我们强调酶消化淀粉在运动能量补充剂，特殊医疗食品和其他领域的有前途的应用。了解酶解淀粉的消化特性，优化体外消化技术和调节系统，将有助于开发高质量的营养碳水化合物产品，满足不同人群的能量需求。

期刊介绍： Carbohydrate Polymers stands as a prominent journal in the glycoscience field, dedicated to exploring and harnessing the potential of polysaccharides with applications spanning bioenergy, bioplastics, biomaterials, biorefining, chemistry, drug delivery, food, health, nanotechnology, packaging, paper, pharmaceuticals, medicine, oil recovery, textiles, tissue engineering, wood, and various aspects of glycoscience. The journal emphasizes the central role of well-characterized carbohydrate polymers, highlighting their significance as the primary focus rather than a peripheral topic. Each paper must prominently feature at least one named carbohydrate polymer, evident in both citation and title, with a commitment to innovative research that advances scientific knowledge.
