    Abstract:
    A new alpha-amylase-producing strain was assigned as Bacillus subtilis US586. The used statistical methodology indicated that amylase production was enhanced by 5.3 folds. The crude enzyme analysis proved the presence of three amylases isoforms Amy1, Amy2, and Amy3 called Amy586. The purified amylases had molecular masses of 48, 52, and 68 kDa with a total specific activity of 2,133 U/mg. Amy586 generated maltose, maltotriose, and maltopentaose as main final products after starch hydrolysis. It exhibited a large 4-6 optimal pH, a 60°C temperature activity, and a moderate thermostability. Amy586 displayed a high pH stability ranging from 3.5 to 6. The addition of Amy586 to weak wheat flour decreased its P/L ratio from 1.9 to 1.2 and increased its dough baking strength (W) from 138 × 10-4 to 172 × 10-4  J. Amy586 also improved the bread texture parameters by reducing its firmness and boosting the cohesion and elasticity values. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS: Bacterial alpha-amylases with novel properties have been the major extent of recent research. In this paper, we managed to demonstrate that the addition of a purified amylolytic extract from the new isolated Bacillus subtilis strain US586 to weak local flour improves dough rheological proprieties and bread quality. Therefore, Amy586 can be considered as a bread making improver.
