Properties

Our amylase on biodegradable cellulose powder offers an efficient and environmentally responsible solution for the removal of starch-based soils in a wide range of cleaning applications. The enzyme specifically targets and breaks down complex carbohydrates such as starch, converting them into smaller, water-soluble sugars that can be easily rinsed away.

This targeted enzymatic action enhances cleaning performance in formulations designed to tackle food residues such as sauces, gravies, pasta, rice, and bakery products, while reducing the need for aggressive chemicals. Amylase is particularly valuable in laundry detergents, automatic dishwashing products, and surface cleaners, where it improves cleaning efficiency at lower temperatures, supports energy savings, and contributes to more sustainable, eco-friendly formulations.

The biodegradable cellulose powder carrier ensures excellent enzyme stability, controlled release, and low dust formation. Its stable powder form provides consistent enzymatic activity and extended shelf life, making it a dependable choice for both professional cleaning applications and consumer products.
