Summary | The thermostable calcium independent alpha-amylase liquefies starch very fast. It brings the benefits of quick DE development, rapid viscosity reduction, less color formation during starch liquefaction. |
Description |
Thermostable alpha-amylase is produced through submerged fermentation of Bacillus licheniformis, followed by purification and formulation. This enzyme offers several key benefits: - Efficient development of dextrose equivalent (DE) - Rapid reduction in viscosity - Minimal color formation - Excellent performance typically without the need for additional calcium As a hydrolytic enzyme, it targets the α-1,4 glycosidic bonds in starch, breaking them down into dextrins, oligosaccharides, and small amounts of glucose. Its high thermostability allows for swift viscosity reduction of starch paste during gelatinization. |
Advantages |
Thermostable and calcium independent α-amylase Fast DE development and viscosity reduction Less color development |
Application | For starch liquefaction during starch sugar processing |
Application Area | Starch sugar |
Application Recommendation | The recommended dosage is 0.15-0.3 L of the enzyme preparation per ton of starch, added at liquefaction after pH adjustment. The dosage has to be optimized based on each application, the raw material specifications, product expectation and processing parameters. It is better to begin the test with the convenient volume. |
