Abstract
A transgenic plant cell expressing a maltogenic amylase (such as Novamyl®) or a beta-amylase; a transgenic plant regenerated from said cell; seeds generated from such plant where said seeds comprise a maltogenic amylase or a beta-amylase and the use of said seeds, optionally in ground form, for catalyzing an industrial process, such as e.g. in baking. The maltogenic amylase providing an anti staling effect in bread produced from the seeds in question.
Claims17
A transgenic cereal plant cell comprising a nucleotide sequence encoding a maltogenic alpha-amylase;
- wherein the maltogenic alpha-amylase has an amino acid sequence which has at least 70% identity to amino acids 34-719 of SEQ ID NO:
- 2.
(canceled)
A transgenic cereal plant comprising a nucleotide sequence encoding a maltogenic alpha-amylase;
- wherein the maltogenic alpha-amylase has an amino acid sequence which has at least 70% identity to amino acids 34-719 of SEQ ID NO:
- 2.
(canceled)
A transgenic cereal seed comprising a maltogenic alpha-amylase in an amount effective to delay staling of bread baked from the seed;
- wherein the maltogenic alpha-amylase has an amino acid sequence which has at least 70% identity to amino acids 34-719 of SEQ ID NO:
- 2.
(canceled)
A method for preparing a baked product, comprising the steps of:
- i) preparing a dough from flour obtained from cereal seed, said seed comprising a maltogenic alpha-amylase, wherein the maltogenic alpha-amylase has an amino acid sequence which has at least 70% identity to amino acids 34-719 of SEQ ID NO:2 and;
- ii) baking the dough to obtain a baked product.
