Abstract

<p align="justify">A process for the digestion of residual b-cyclodextrin used for cholesterol reduction in egg using glucoamylase from a mutant strain of Aspergillus niger (CFTRI 1105) was optimized by response surface methodology. The most important parameters influencing bcyclodextrin digestion were determined to be enzyme activity units per milligram of b-cyclodextrin and digestion temperature. Maximum digestions of 89% for egg yolk and 98% for whole egg were observed, and these values were in good agreement with the values predicted by the models.</p>
