30 Mar 1999TL;DR: In this article, the combination of an anti-staling amylase and a phospholipase has been used to improve the softness of bread in the first 24 hours after baking.
Abstract: It is known that the addition of an anti-staling amylase reduces the rate of crumb firming during storage for 1-7 days after baking, but the inventors found a need to improve the softness in the initial period after baking, particularly the first 24 hours after baking. This can be overcome by using a phospholipase, so that bread made by the combined use of an anti-staling amylase and a phospholipase has improved softness, both when eaten on the same day and when stored for several days after baking. There is no significant change in the taste or smell of the baked product.

10 Oct 2003TL;DR: In this paper, the formation of acrylamide during heat treatment in the production of a food product is reduced by treating the raw material with an enzyme before the heat treatment, which is capable of reacting on asparagine or glutamine (optionally substituted) as a substrate or is a laccase or a peroxidase.

18 Dec 1998TL;DR: In this paper, a process for oxidation of a hydroxy group of a sugar monomer of an oligo- or a polysaccharide comprising contacting, in an aqueous medium, the oligo or the poly saccharide with a phenol oxidizing enzyme and an enhancing agent was described.
Abstract: The present invention deals with a process for oxidation of a hydroxy group of C1 and/or C2 and/or C3 and/or C4 and/or C5 and/or C6 of a sugar monomer of an oligo- or a polysaccharide comprising contacting, in an aqueous medium, the oligo- or the polysaccharide with a phenol oxidizing enzyme and an enhancing agent, whereby an oligo- or a polysaccharide with altered characteristics compared to the native oligo- or polysaccharide is created.

TL;DR: A phylogenetic and metagenomic study of elephant feces samples (derived from a three-weeks-old and a six-years-old Asian elephant) was conducted in order to describe the microbiota inhabiting this large land-living animal.
Abstract: A phylogenetic and metagenomic study of elephant feces samples (derived from a three-weeks-old and a six-years-old Asian elephant) was conducted in order to describe the microbiota inhabiting this large land-living animal. The microbial diversity was examined via 16S rRNA gene analysis. We generated more than 44,000 GS-FLX+454 reads for each animal. For the baby elephant, 380 operational taxonomic units (OTUs) were identified at 97% sequence identity level; in the six-years-old animal, close to 3,000 OTUs were identified, suggesting high microbial diversity in the older animal. In both animals most OTUs belonged to Bacteroidetes and Firmicutes. Additionally, for the baby elephant a high number of Proteobacteria was detected. A metagenomic sequencing approach using Illumina technology resulted in the generation of 1.1 Gbp assembled DNA in contigs with a maximum size of 0.6 Mbp. A KEGG pathway analysis suggested high metabolic diversity regarding the use of polymers and aromatic and non-aromatic compounds. In line with the high phylogenetic diversity, a surprising and not previously described biodiversity of glycoside hydrolase (GH) genes was found. Enzymes of 84 GH families were detected. Polysaccharide utilization loci (PULs), which are found in Bacteroidetes, were highly abundant in the dataset; some of these comprised cellulase genes. Furthermore the highest coverage for GH5 and GH9 family enzymes was detected for Bacteroidetes, suggesting that bacteria of this phylum are mainly responsible for the degradation of cellulose in the Asian elephant. Altogether, this study delivers insight into the biomass conversion by one of the largest plant-fed and land-living animals.
