Product Description

Alpha amylase, or α-amylase, is an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of starch into sugars. It is an important enzyme found in plants, animals, and microorganisms. Alpha amylase is utilized in various industries including food, fermentation, textile, and paper industries.

Function: 

Alpha amylase works by breaking down the long-chain carbohydrates (starch) into smaller units (maltose and glucose). It acts on the α-1,4 glycosidic bonds in starch, glycogen, and related polysaccharides. The enzyme is highly efficient and can act quickly to convert starch into sugar, making it an essential component in the digestive process and industrial applications.

1. Food Industry: In the production of high-fructose corn syrup, brewing, baking, and the preparation of digestive aids.
2. Textile Industry: Used in the desizing process to remove starch from fabrics.
3. Paper Industry: Helps in the sizing process, improving the quality and strength of paper.
4. Detergents: Incorporated into laundry and dishwashing detergents to break down starches in stains.

Health and Nutrition

Alpha amylase plays a critical role in human digestion by breaking down dietary starches into absorbable sugars. Its activity can be influenced by various factors, including pH, temperature, and the presence of inhibitors. Adequate function of α-amylase is essential for proper digestion and nutrient absorption.
