Application of enzymes in food baking

With the development of science and technology, enzymes are no longer only used in the textile industry, chemical industry laundry detergent and animal feed industry. Nowadays, enzymes for food processing are widely used and have accounted for one-third of the enzyme market. The expansion of the application in food is mainly for food baking, which involves a rich variety of enzymes.

Commonly used enzymes in baking
alpha;-Amylase: It enables the dough to continuously produce dextrin and maltose during rising, which is then converted to glucose, which serves as a source of yeast during fermentation. In addition, the action of α-amylase makes the starch molecules smaller, which facilitates the action of β-amylase. Generally speaking, the optimal amount of α-amylase to be added is 0.05 g/kg. If α-amylase activity is too high, excessive starch hydrolysis in the pre-baking process will result in increased bread stickiness and smaller volume. Fungal alpha;-amylase is inactivated at 75℃, so it will not produce the above situation, and it will extend the shelf life of the bread by two times.

Protease: adding the right amount of protease can make part of the protein hydrolyzed into amino acids, which can not only promote the growth of yeast and the production of CO2, but also promote the softening of the dough, enhance the ductility, shorten the fermentation time of the dough, improve the quality of the baking, prevent the bread from aging, and prolong the freshness of the shelf life. But too much will reduce the dough aeration ability.

Glucose oxidase: Significantly improves the properties of flour, tensile properties and pasting properties, thus increasing gluten strength, tensile resistance and maximum viscosity.

Fat oxidases: oxidize and decompose unsaturated fatty acids present in the flour to produce carbonyl compounds with aromatic flavors to increase the flavor of the bread and oxidize the carotenoids naturally present in the flour to bleach the flour.

Hemicellulase: It can decompose the insoluble pentosan, which causes the volume of baked goods to decrease, into soluble pentosan, which helps the volume of baked goods to increase, and improves the mechanical property of dough and the performance of rapid expansion in the oven, so as to obtain the baked goods with larger volume, stronger softness and longer shelf life.

 

Rational use
Although it is not harmful to human health to add too much enzyme preparation in flour, it will affect the quality of flour, make the dough dry or hard, or even make the dough collapse, which will seriously affect the quality of food.

As a matter of fact, the role of bread improver on bread is the comprehensive and synergistic effect of the above components, through the synergistic and comprehensive effect of the components to achieve the purpose of improving the organization of bread to increase the volume of bread and promote the appearance of bread to achieve the purpose of increasing the quality of bread. Adding all kinds of improvers to wheat flour according to a certain proportion and mixing them evenly in a scientific way, it will play a better improvement effect than single use.

New application of new biological enzymes in soy protein drinks

Plant protein drink refers to plant nuts, pulp, nuts and soybeans and other raw materials (such as soybeans, peanuts, almonds, walnuts, coconut, etc.), after processing, blending, and then high-pressure sterilization or aseptic packaging of milky beverages.

According to the different processing raw materials, plant protein beverages can be divided into soy milk drinks, coconut milk (juice) drinks, almond milk (dew) drinks, other plant protein drinks (such as walnuts, peanuts, pumpkin seeds, etc.). In recent years, natural and green health drinks have risen rapidly, and plant protein drinks have become a force in the beverage market. And plant protein drinks with its safe, nutritious, healthy concept gradually become the new darling of the market, favored and sought after by consumers.

At present, the scale of China’s plant protein beverage industry is nearly 100 billion, with an annual growth rate of 20% to 30%, the market capacity is increasing rapidly, but the number of domestic plant protein beverage product categories is relatively small, the taste is relatively single, in the primary development stage of the product, compared with the United States, the domestic plant protein beverages have not yet appeared on a large scale of high-quality and functionalized products.

Soy milk beverage as the development of the earliest is also one of the most widely accepted drinks in the market, in the soybean plant protein beverage production system, the use of enzyme engineering technology for hydrolysis of plant proteins, so that most of the protein, fat, cellulose and other components of soybeans have been hydrolyzed to a certain extent, become small molecules of proteins, active peptides, amino acids, more conducive to the human body’s absorption, the product dissolution of the product is better.

Enzyme engineering technology can improve the flavor of soybeans in the production process, to remove the smell of soy and other odors; in addition, due to the enzyme digestion of some of the proteins, cellulose and other components, so that the production of a higher yield, excluding less waste residue; and finally, after the biological enzyme treatment can be removed from soybeans in the indigestible factors, to alleviate the problems of abdominal distension and indigestion, the nutritive value of soy protein has been greatly enhanced.

Enzymatic method in the meat food processing applications
Meat occupies a very important position in the daily dietary intake of human beings. Traditional meat food processing methods include curing, drying, smoking, etc. Although these methods are easy to operate and have low processing costs, they are not conducive to human health. With the continuous improvement of human living standards, human beings pay more and more attention to food safety, food flavor and nutritional value of food. There are many deficiencies in the traditional process in terms of improving food quality, enhancing food nutritional value and industrialization of products. Enzymatic method can make full use of meat food raw materials, hydrolysis of small molecule proteins and peptides can improve the nutritional value of the product, and improve the flavor of the product, and the nature of the enzyme is a protein, degradation of amino acids can be absorbed and utilized by the human body, so enzyme digestion will play an increasingly important role in the processing of meat food.
