Properties

Our amylase is a medium temperature α-amylase produced by submerged fermentation of Bacillus subtilis. The enzyme is an endo-amylase, hydrolysing 1,4-α-glycosidic linkages in amylase & amylopectin at random, producing dextrins of different chain lengths & oligosaccharides.

This results in a rapid decrease in the viscosity of starch solutions.

Reaction

Starch + H2O → dextrins, maltotriose and maltose CAS Number: 9000-90-2
