AMYLASE :

Amylases are the hydrolytic enzymes which catalysis the hydrolysis of starch in to low molecular weight sugar molecules. In nature starch is most abundant polysaccharide food store after cellulose and it is used in many industries.

INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS OF AMYLASE :

• Food : Starch liquefaction and saccharification; manufacturing of corn syrups; anti-staling in baking; Enhance shelf life of breads; reduction of chill haze formation in beverages
• Detergent : Removal of starch based stains
• Paper : Reduction of viscosity, Deinking, drainage improvement
• Textile : Desizing, Warp sizing of textiles fibers
• Biofuel : Ethanol production
• Pharmaceutical : Digestive aid
• Bioremediation : Bioremediation of vegetables wastes
• Leather : Fiber splitting
