Analisis oligosakarida hasil hidrolisis pati kentang hitam (Culeus tuberosus) oleh Enzim amilase dari Brevibacterium sp.

Abstract

Oligosaccharide is an important group of carbohydrate macromolecul composed of 2 to 20 saccharide units. Oligosaccharide has many benefits in the field of food and health. Starch is one of the source origin material for oligosaccharide production by enzimatic process. Black potatoes contain high carbohydrates especially starch of about 83%. To obtain oligosaccharide from black potato starch can be hidrolyzed using amylase enzymes which are produced by Brevibacterium sp. Crude extracts amylase enzyme production from Brevibacterium sp. producing enzyme activity of 3.25 U/mL. Black potato starch hydrolysis results a value of reducing sugar of 7482.500 ppm, after freeze drying a value of reducing sugar was 9647.500 ppm, and after concentrated by vacuum evaporator the value of reducing sugar was 14908.300 ppm. The results of HPLC analysis of black potato starch hydrolysis showed that there are oligosaccharide compound such as maltose, maltotriose, and maltopentose. The samples were given preferential treatment freeze dry and evaporation produce reducing sugar value and concentration of the oligosaccharide better than the fresh samples without treatment. The identification result of oligosaccharide obtained by HPLC shows that freeze drying and evaporating samples has a higher concentration and better peak and sharp.
