For the specific measurement of beta-amylase in malt flour.

INTRODUCTION:

β-Amylase plays a central role in the complete degradation of starch to

metabolisable or fermentable sugars during the germination or malting

of cereal grains. It also finds considerable application, together with

starch debranching enzymes, in the production of high maltose syrups.

β-Amylase is usually measured using non-specific reducing sugar assays

with starch as substrate. In some methods, the α-amylase is first

inactivated by treatment at low pH.

A major advance in the assay of β-amylase was introduced by

Mathewson and Seabourn1 who found that the Calbiochem Pantrak?

serum α-amylase reagent could be used to measure β-amylase in the

presence of cereal α-amylase. The reagent (Pantrak) consists of a

mixture of p-nitrophenyl-α-D-maltopentaoside (PNPG5) and

p-nitrophenyl-α-D-maltohexaoside (PNPG6). These substrates are

rapidly hydrolysed by β-amylase, but are only slowly cleaved by cereal

α-amylase, which requires a longer stretch of α-1,4-linked D-glucosyl

residues to satisfy the substrate sub-site binding requirements.

Subsequently, Megazyme offered a product, Betamyl? (β-Amylase

Assay Reagent) that comprised just PNPG5 and α-glucosidase2,

which gave greater specificity. This reagent is now superceded by

the Megazyme Betamyl-3?, β-Amylase assay reagent, which is more

specific and considerably more stable than the Betamyl? reagent.

The Megazyme Betamyl-3?, β-amylase test reagent employs high

purity β-glucosidase and p-nitrophenyl-β-D-maltotrioside (PNPβ-G3).

The level of β-glucosidase used ensures maximum sensitivity of the

assay. On hydrolysis of PNPβ-G3 to maltose and p-nitrophenyl-β-Dglucose

by β-amylase, the p-nitrophenyl-β-D-glucose is immediately

cleaved to D-glucose and free p-nitrophenol by the β-glucosidase

present in the substrate mixture (Scheme 1). Thus, the rate of release

of p-nitrophenol relates directly to the rate of release of maltose

by β-amylase. The reaction is stopped, and the phenolate colour is

developed, on addition of a high pH Trizma base solution.

The PNPβ-G3 plus β-glucosidase mixture contains stabilisers which

significantly increase its stability. The blank absorbance value of the

Betamyl-3? substrate solution, when stored at 4 or 20°C, increases

much more slowly than similar increases for Betamyl?. reagent
