Abstract
Branched maltodextrin which contains branched sugars as well as linear sugars was produced by Tranzyme L 500. Branched sugar content increased as reaction time between substrate(D.E. 19) and 0.05% of Tranzyme L 500 at pH 5.5, 55oC increased. Branched sugar content was 14.9% at 24 hr of reaction and reached 27% after 60 hr. Total branched sugar content increased regardless of substrate D.E. as enzyme concentration increased. However, when concentrations of enzyme were 0.1, 0.2%, production of branched sugars of which content were 46.6%, 52.6% respectively at those enzyme concentrations, was higher at D.E. 19 than any other conditions.
