The invention provides a preparation method and application of an anti-
caking agent for
amylase, and the preparation method comprises the following steps: step 1, uniformly mixing metered
calcium silicate,
calcium stearate and water to obtain a first treated substance; step 2, performing ball milling on the first treated object in a
ball mill to obtain a second treated object; and 3, carrying out suction
filtration on the second treated substance, and
drying to obtain the target anti-
caking agent. Hydrophobic long chains of
calcium stearate are adsorbed on the surface of
calcium silicate to form a hydrophobic
coating layer, and are uniformly dispersed on the surfaces of
amylase particles, so that
water contact is blocked, and
moisture absorption and
caking are reduced; on the other hand, the hydrophilic end of
calcium stearate and ions on the surface of
calcium silicate are subjected to weak
ion exchange or coordination, the microenvironment around
amylase is changed, the hydrophilicity of the amylase is reduced, meanwhile, the surface activity of the anti-caking agent is enhanced through structural change generated by ball milling, and the anti-caking agent can be used for improving the anti-caking effect through
hydrogen bonds formed with amylase molecules,
Van der Waals force and other interactions. The
starch is tightly attached to the surfaces of amylase particles to prevent
moisture absorption and caking, so that the performance of the amylase is ensured.
