Alpha-Amylase

Introduction

What is Alpha-Amylase Enzyme? The alpha-amylase enzyme is made of Bacillus Subtilis in the fermentation and extraction method. It is widely used in the liquefaction of starch sugar, alcohol, beer, monosodium glutamate, animal feed, fermentation industries, and textile, printing & dyeing, de-sizing, and more.

Health Benefits

Health Benefits of Alpha-Amylase Enzyme

• The 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 an alpha-amylase enzyme, producing shorter chains of sugars oligosaccharides.
• An alpha-amylase enzyme, also called “Termamyl”, sourced from Bacillus licheniformis, is also used in some detergents, especially dishwashing, and starch-removing detergents.

Benefits for the Animal Feed Industry

• Alpha-amylase enzyme increases utilization of starch in grains.
• Possibilities to use cheaper and low-quality feedstuff.
• Enables weaning animals to adapt to new feeding molds smoothly.
• Greater productivity of meats and eggs.
