Cyclodextrinase (CDase) and cyclodextrin glucosyltransferase (CGTase) were synergistically used to provide a novel enzymatic method in lowing in vitro digestibility of waxy maize starch. The molecular structure, malto-oligosaccharide composition, and digestibility properties of the generated products were investigated. The molecular weight was reduced to 0.3 × 10⁵ g/mol and 0.2 × 10⁵ g/mol by simultaneous and sequential treatment with CDase and CGTase, while the highest proportion of chains with degree of polymerization (DP) < 13 was obtained by simultaneous treatment. The resistant starch contents were increased to 27.5% and 36.9% by simultaneous and sequential treatments respectively. Dual-enzyme treatment significantly promoted the content of malto-oligosaccharides (MOSs) by hydrolyzing cyclodextrins from CGTase with CDase. However, the replacement of cyclodextrins by MOSs did not obviously influence the digestibility of the products. The starch digestion kinetics further revealed the hydrolysis pattern of these two enzymes on the starch hydrolysate. It was proved that the starch digestibility could be lowered by modulating the molecular structure and beneficial MOSs content by this dual-enzyme treatment.
