Enzyme classification and Nomenclature
Enzymes are classified by the type of reactions they catalyze
No. Class Type of reaction catalyzed
1 Oxidoreductases Transfer of electrons
2 Transferases Group transfer reactions
3 Hydrolases Hydrolysis reaction (group transfer to water)
4 Lyases Group addition to double bonds, or double bond formation
by group removals
5 Isomerases Group transfer within molecules to yield isomeric form
6 Ligases Formation of C-C, C-S, C-O, and C-N bonds among two
molecules coupled with ATP cleavage
All enzymes have formal E.C. numbers and names. Most have trivial names
ATP + D-glucose → ADP + D-glucose 6-phosphate (by hexokinase)

Enzymes used
-Amylase hydrolyzes interior -1,4-glucosidic bonds
-Amylase hydrolyzes -1,4-glucosidic bonds from non-reducing ends
and release maltose
Glucoamylase (amyloglucosidase) hydrolyzes -1,4 and -1,6-
glucosidic bonds and release glucose
Debranching enzymes (isoamylase and pullulanase) hydrolyze -1,6-
glucosidic bonds and release linear chains
Products
Simple sugars: glucose, maltose, fructose, HFCS
Syrup: DE (dextrose equivalent) >20
Maltodextrin: DE <20

Enzymatic starch degradation
Debranched Starch for Making Resistant Starch
Liquefaction
Debranching Pullulanase
Retrogradation
Drying
Resistant starch
Issues:
To reduce the viscosity allowing for economic processing
To increase the thermal stability of crystalline structure after retrogradation

Enzymatic starch degradation
Beta-amylase & Maltogenic α-amylase Retard Retrogradation
Maltogenic α-amylase:
Degrades amylopectin & amylose to produce maltose & oligosaccharides
Functions like an endo-enzyme
Retard starch retrogradation by shortening external chains

Potentials:
Reduce starch retrogradation by shortening external chain length
Reduce digestibility by forming more branches, since α-1,6 linkages are much
less susceptible to glucoamylase than 1,4 linkages
