Abstract
An optimal reaction condition for producing cycloamylose (CA) from sweet potato starch was investigated using a combination of isoamylase (from Pseudomonas sp.) and 4-α-glucanotransferase (from Thermus aquaticus, TAαGT). Starch was debranched by isoamylase for 8 h and subsequently reacted with TAαGT for 12 h. The yield and purity of CA products were determined using HPSEC and MALDI-TOFMS, respectively. Consequently, the maximum yield was 48.56%, exhibiting the highest CA production efficiency ever reported from starch. The CA products showed a wide range of the degree of polymerization (DP) with the minimum DP of 5. CA was also produced by simultaneous treatment of isoamylase and TAαGT. The yield was 3.31%, and the final products were contaminated by multiple branched and linear molecules. This result suggests that a former reaction condition (the sequential addition of isoamylase and TAαGT) is preferable for producing CA from sweet potato starch.
