Product Description
Powder glucoamylase enzyme for starch saccharify industry
INTRODUCTION
Glucoamylase (Glucan 1,4-α-glucosidase) is made from Aspergillus niger. Produced by submerged fermentation, separation and extraction technology.
DEFINITION OF UNIT
1 unit of Glucoamylase equals to the amount of enzyme which hydrolyzes soluble starch to get 1mg glucose at 40℃ and pH4.6 in 1h.

DOSAGE
The recommended dosage is 0.35-0.6 kg of the enzyme preparation per ton of dry starch when saccharifying at 60-63℃ and pH 4.3-4.5. A starting dose of 0.45kg per ton of dry starch is recommended under most conditions. However, the optimal dosage depends on the specific process parameters and should be determined by testing different dosages.
PACKAGE DAN STORAGE
Package: 25kg/drum.
Storage: Keep sealed in a dry and cool place and avoid direct sunlight. Slight sedimentation is acceptable since it will not impact performance of the product.
Shelf life:12 months in a dry and cool place.
SAFETY
Enzyme preparations are proteins, which may induce sensitization and cause allergic type reactions in sensitized individuals. Prolonged contact may cause minor irritation for skin, eyes or nasal mucosa, so any direct contiguity with human body should be avoided. If irritation or allergic response for skin or eyes develops, consult a doctor.
