  • Industrie de l'alimentation
CONT

Quatre facteurs déterminent la valeur boulangère de la farine : la qualité et la quantité des protéines de la farine; les caractéristiques du pétrissage de la pâte; la proportion d'amidon endommagé; l'activité des amylases.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Cultivo de cereales
  • Molinería y cereales
  • Industria alimentaria
CONT

Actividad diastásica o amilásica. La determinación de la actividad diastásica de la harina es un índice de la cantidad de amilasas presentes en la harina. Las amilasas actúan sobre los gránulos de almidón dañado(durante la fermentación de las esponjas) y sobre los gránulos de almidón gelatinizados(durante el horneo), brindando a la levadura suficiente cantidad del azúcar fermentable(maltosa).

English

Subject field(s)
  • Food Additives
  • Biochemistry
DEF

An enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of starch into smaller molecules.

CONT

In animals the highest concentration of amylase is in saliva and the pancreas glands. Swine have the highest amylase content among domestic animals ... Most commercial amylases are concentrated products but are not highly purified and often contain other enzymes ... Amylases are prepared from hog pancreas, but hog pancreas is a much better source of proteolytic and lipolytic enzymes.
