This invention discloses a multi-step sequential
enzymatic hydrolysis combined with multi-stage membrane purification method for preparing
kudzu oligosaccharides, relating to the field of
functional food processing technology. The preparation method includes the following steps: adding
kudzu powder to water to prepare a
starch slurry, then liquefying it using α-
amylase, followed by
enzymatic hydrolysis using debranching enzymes and
glycoside hydrolases to obtain an enzymatic
hydrolysate; performing membrane separation on the enzymatic
hydrolysate to obtain a fraction with a molecular weight higher than 1 kDa and lower than 5 kDa, followed by
drying to obtain the
kudzu oligosaccharides; the debranching enzymes are
pullulanase and
isoamylase; the
glycoside hydrolases are β-
glucosidase or α-transglucosidase. This preparation method can effectively increase the proportion of the DP3-15 fraction of kudzu oligosaccharides, achieving a product purity of over 91% and a total yield exceeding 22%.
