Abstract

Sago (sago Metroxylon Rottb) is an abundant starch source in Indonesia but has not been used optimally. On the one hand, Indonesia is still importing modified starch, including starch-based maltodextrin, to meet the needs of industry, especially pharmaceuticals and food. Maltodextrin production from sago starch of Papua is expected to support the development of plant-based starch derivative products in Indonesia. This study produces sago starch-based maltodextrin through hydrolysis using two constant time parameters for 60 minutes, temperature 800C, and varied enzyme alpha-amylase into three different loadings of 0.05%, 0.075%, and 0.1%. Some of the acceptable characterizations of Maltodextrin measured were Dextrose Equivalent (DE) and solubility in water corresponding to values of 16.7 and 96.9%, respectively, which were obtained from Sago starch sample hydrolyzed using the highest enzyme loading of 0.1%. Another supporting parameter is the lowest moisture content of 5.46%, generated by the enzyme loading of 0.1% during hydrolysis. This study has good prospects and is achievable to support local food development towards industry in Papua and feasible to missing text.
