Introduction
Alpha-Amylase is an enzyme that breaks down starch into sugars. It is commonly used in food and pharmaceutical applications.
Mechanism
Alpha-Amylase catalyzes the hydrolysis of alpha-D-1,4 glycosidic linkages in starch, resulting in the production of smaller sugar molecules.

Application
Applications:
- In grain Amylase Enzyme Powder activity in grain is measured by, for instance, the Hagberg-Perten Falling Number, a test to assess sprout damages, or the Phadebas method.
- Alpha Amylase Enzyme is used in ethanol production to break starches in grains into fermentable sugars.
- The first step in the production of high-fructose corn syrup is the treatment of cornstarch with α-amylase, producing shorter chains of sugars oligosaccharides.
- An Alpha Amylase Enzyme called “Termamyl”, sourced from Bacillus licheniformis, is also used in some detergents, especially dishwashing and starch-removing detergents.
