The acceptor specificity of the galactanase was much broader than those of β-galactosidases from Escherichia coli, Penicillium multicolor, Bacillus circulans and Aspergillus oryzae : Various hydroxybenzenes and hydroxybenzoic acids acted as acceptors for the galactanase, although most of them were poor or ineffective for the, β-galactosidases. Carboxyl group adjacent to OH groups reduced effectiveness as acceptors for both the enzymes. Benzyl alcohol and hydroxybenzyl alcohols were good acceptors for the enzymes. The transfer ability of galactanase was compared in detail with the β-galactosidases using 1, 3-dihydroxybenzene (2) as an acceptor. The galactanase formed the transfer products much more effectively than the β-galactosidases at 0.5-3% of the acceptor concentrations. Increasing activity of the galactanase and prolonged reaction time resulted in an increase of the transfer products. Increasing activities of β-galactosidases and longer incubation times reduced the yields due to rapid hydrolysis of the aryl galactoside formed.","PeriodicalId":17372,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Japanese Society of Starch Science","volume":"7 1","pages":"1-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72592470","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The shift factor-1/T relationship for Mochi stored at °C resulted in two straight lines, a refraction point being observed at 50°C ; however, no such phenomenon was observed for Mochi stored at-20°C. 4) The cooking loss of Mochi stored at 5°C decreased with increasing storage time, while that of the Mochi stored at -20°C hardly changed . Mochi prepared by stamping showed a small cooking loss after storage at 5 and -20°C, respectively. 5) The crystalline structure of raw glutinous rice could be classified as a type-A pattern, although this pattern disappeared upon heating and was transformed into a type-B pattern after storing at 5°C for one week. In the case of Mochi stored at -20°C, the crystallinity was never recovered. 6) The viscosity of Mochi measured by a Brabender viscograph after storing at 5°C showed a maximum value of 800 to 1000 B. U., while that stored at -20°C showed a maximum value of 200 to 300 B. U. The viscosity of the latter reached a peak after storing for 72 hr, and then decreased with a further period of storage.","PeriodicalId":17372,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Japanese Society of Starch Science","volume":"44 1","pages":"23-40"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86656268","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Amylose-bound protein (starch synthase) is higher in indica rice than in japonica rice and the specific activity was lower in indica, consistent with their similar amylose contents. Processing temperature determines the type of amylose-lipid complex formed, with complex II formed only above 100°C. Cooked-rice and starch-gel staling that is reversed partially by reheating at 100°C was shown to be due to amylopectin staling by DSC and storage modulus G'-time profiles . They tended to be related to d.p.n of amylopectin among waxy rices. Intermediate-high GT with greater resistance to corrosion of raw granules to HC1 and Chalara paradoxa amylases showed greater amylopectin and amylose staling of cooked rice. Amylose staling was measured by glycemic index and resistant starch. These studies provide evidence on the causes of varietal differences in qualities of rices with similar amylose contents. It is worthwhile to estimate the molecular properties of amylopectin and amylose of these selected rice samples to determine what properties actually affect cooked rice texture.","PeriodicalId":17372,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Japanese Society of Starch Science","volume":"10 1","pages":"11-21"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81679736","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
