Abstract

This study aims to determine the parameters of the enzymatic hydrolysis process of red pumpkin starch to increase the resistant starch content in the material. The liquefaction stage was designed with two factors: α-amylase concentration and different times. The results of the α-amylase liquefaction process showed that the highest reducing sugar content was 14.92% at an α-amylase concentration of 11 U/g and time of 50 minutes, with a fixed starch: water ratio of 1:4. The saccharification experiment was carried out based on a multivariate model using the Central Composite Design method and yielded expected results, with variance analysis in the regression model showing significance (p < 0.05). The reliability of the model R2 = 0.997 showed that the regression model was suitable for the dataset with 99.7% accuracy. CV = 2.08% indicated that the accuracy and reliability of the experiments were good. At a glucoamylase concentration of 112.424 U/ml, a temperature of 48.590oC, and a time of 179.732 minutes, the highest resistant starch content reached 35.968%. Solubility and swelling increased with temperature: at 90oC, the solubility of native starch and modified starch were 12.12% and 68.85%, respectively, while swelling of native starch was 6.77%, and modified starch achieved 3.39%. The
transparency of native starch was 5.37% T, while modified starch achieved 2.17% T.
