Abstract
Compositions comprising bio-fiber gum hydrolysate and processes to hydrolyze bio-fiber gum (BFG), involving dissolving BFG in a solvent to form a solution, heating the solution and adding endoxylanase to the solution or adding endoxylanase to the solution and heating the solution, incubating the solution to form a solution containing BFG hydrolysate, boiling the solution containing BFG hydrolysate to inactivate the endoxylanase, and separating the BFG hydrolysate from the liquid in the solution containing BFG hydrolysate.
Claims27
A process to hydrolyze bio-fiber gum (BFG), said process comprising:
- (a) dissolving BFG in a solvent at pH of about 2.5 to about 7 to form a solution;
- (b) heating said solution and adding endoxylanase to said solution or adding endoxylanase to said solution and heating said solution;
- (c) incubating said solution to a temperature in a range from about 20° C. to about 70° C. to form a solution containing BFG hydrolysate;
- (d) boiling said solution containing BFG hydrolysate to inactivate said endoxylanase;
- and (e) separating said BFG hydrolysate from the liquid in said solution containing BFG hydrolysate.
A composition comprising a bio-fiber gum hydrolysate having a similar emulsifying ability as a bio-fiber gum which has not been hydrolyzed.
