  • Production of crystalline short chain amylose
    Patent number: 7964718
    Abstract: A process for producing a starch comprises treating a feed starch that comprises amylopectin with glucanotransferase to produce a chain-extended starch, and treating the chain-extended starch with a debranching enzyme to produce a starch product that comprises amylose fragments. At least about 38% by weight of the amylose fragments have a degree of polymerization (DP) of at least about 35.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 20, 2010
    Date of Patent: June 21, 2011
    Assignees: Tate & Lyle Ingredients Americas LLC, Novozymes A/S
    Inventors: Barrie Norman, Sven Pedersen, Keith D. Stanley, Ethel D. Stanley, legal representative, Patricia A. Richmond
