Compositions and methods for manufacturing sheets having a starch-bound matrix reinforced with fibers and optionally including an inorganic mineral filler. Suitable mixtures for forming the sheets are prepared by mixing together water, unmodified and ungelatinized starch granules, an auxiliary water-dispersible organic polymer, fibers, and optionally an inorganic mineral filler in the correct proportions to form a sheet having desired properties. The mixtures are formed into sheets by passing them between one or more sets of heated rollers to form green sheets. The heated rollers cause the auxiliary polymer to form a skin on the outer surfaces of the sheet that prevents the starch granules from causing the sheet to adhere to the rollers upon gelation of the starch. The green sheets are passed between heated rollers to gelatinize the starch granules, and then to dry the sheet by removing a substantial portion of the water by evaporation. The starch and auxiliary polymer form the binding matrix of the sheets with the fibers and optional inorganic filler dispersed throughout the binding matrix. The starch-bound sheets can be cut, rolled, pressed, scored, perforated, folded, and glued to fashion articles from the sheets much like paper or paperboard. The sheets are particularly useful in the mass production of containers, such as food and beverage containers.

A recombinant protein is prepared comprising a polypeptide of interest and a starch binding domain (SBD). The said SBD is obtainable from glucoamylase of fungi genus Rhizopus. The said recombinant protein comprising the said SBD can be purified by contacting with an affinity matrix such as starch, the SBD binds to the affinity matrix to isolate the recombinant protein. The recombinant protein can be purified by separating the association between the SBD and the affinity matrix by acid, alkaline, salt, or sugar. The polypeptide of interest may be an antibody, an antigen, a therapeutic compound, an enzyme, or a protein and may apply in pathogen destruction, vaccine producing, and oral care product manufacturing. The SBD further provides as a tool to screen or identify polysacchrides.

The invention discloses a preparation method of a highly branched dextrin product, which belongs to the field of high value utilization of starch deep processing transformation. The main steps are as follows: after heating the starch milk to gelatinize and decluster, use α-amylase to restrict hydrolysis, then treat with glycogen branching enzyme, and obtain a highly branched dextrin product through alcohol precipitation and drying. The present invention preliminarily utilizes α-amylase to decompose clustered starch, and combines the biocatalytic conversion technology of recombinant heterologously expressed glycogen branching enzyme of Actinomycetes Thermomonas genus Thermomonospora curvata to synergistically act on starch to convert long amylose The substrate is converted into a novel dextrin product with a highly branched structure. The invention significantly shortens the preparation time of highly branched dextrin products, greatly improves the product yield, and has the advantages of high branching, good solubility and the like.

The present invention describes variants of alpha-amylases useful in industrial processes such as starch liquefaction. The α-amylase variants have enhanced specific activity, allowing for faster reduction of peak viscosity during liquefaction. The α-amylase is modified by introducing a mutation into the amino acid sequence of a parental Family 13 α-amylase polypeptide at an amino acid residue in the starch-binding groove; wherein the starch-binding groove is modified by the first β in the A domain Amino acid residues in the α-helix preceding the ‑strand, the loop between the sixth α‑helix and the seventh β‑strand in the A domain, the seventh α‑helix and the eighth β in the A domain - the loop between the chains, and the loop formation connecting the A domain and the C domain; and wherein the mutation changes the binding of starch to the variant alpha amylase polypeptide compared to the parent alpha amylase polypeptide.
