Classification of dextrose equivalent analysis maltodextrin starch seeds through enzymatic hydrolysis reaction

Abstract

Maltodextrin is produced by hydrolysis process using enzyme catalyst. This enzyme catalyst is used because it is able to catalyze the process of starch hydrolysis to produce simpler molecules such as glucose, maltose, and dextrin. Maltodextrin is an imperfect starch composed of a simple, low-calorie mixture of sugars. The hydrolysis process takes place by varying the enzyme concentrations of 10%, 15% and 20% and varying the time 60 minutes, 90 minutes, 120 minutes. The optimum condition obtained in the process of hydrolysis of starch to maltodextrin in this research is at hydrolysis time of 120 minutes with enzyme concentration 20% yield equivalent of 13,4% dextrose, water content 4,3% and pH 5.
