Applications
Amylase enzyme converts starch into dextrins and fermentable sugars under commercial conditions, helping teams manage viscosity, conversion rate, and downstream processing across six industrial sectors.
Baking
Generates fermentable sugars from flour starch, improving dough handling, oven spring, crust colour, and anti-staling in industrial bakery lines.
Learn more →Glucose & Fructose Syrup
Liquefies starch into dextrins before saccharification, serving syrup plants that require consistent conversion in the initial stage of sweetener production.
Learn more →Brewing & Distilling
Supplements malt enzymes for adjunct mashing with rice, corn, or sorghum. Supports complete starch conversion, mash flow, and fermentable extract yield.
Learn more →Animal Feed
Improves starch digestibility in compound feeds, increasing energy availability for poultry, swine, and aquaculture species while maintaining stable processes.
Learn more →Textile Desizing
Removes starch sizing from woven fabrics before dyeing, reducing residual size, improving wash-out, and protecting fabric quality.
Learn more →Biofuel
Liquefies grain and tuber starches for ethanol production, lowering slurry viscosity and enabling efficient downstream saccharification.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the amylase enzyme do?
It hydrolyses α-1,4 glycosidic bonds in starch and glycogen, producing dextrins, maltose, and maltotriose. In industrial processing, amylase enzyme is a core tool for liquefaction, mash conversion, and starch-to-sugar workflows.
What is the substrate of amylase?
The substrate of amylase is starch, including starch-based slurries from grains and tubers. In practical plant use, substrate composition affects viscosity drop, conversion rate, and final sugar profile.
What is the difference between alpha-amylase and beta-amylase?
Alpha-amylase is endo-acting and cuts internal α-1,4 bonds for rapid viscosity reduction. Beta-amylase is exo-acting and removes maltose units from non-reducing ends. Together they define enzyme behavior in brewing, baking, and syrup production.
Is amylase food grade?
Yes. Food Grade supply is available and documentation can include ISO 9001, HALAL, and KOSHER certificates. Confirm your required standard and we will match the lot documents accordingly.
Can I use amylase enzyme for brewing or distilling?
Yes. Brewing grades suit adjunct mashing with rice, corn, or sorghum. Typical starting range is 0.05–0.2% w/w on grist, at pH 5.2–5.8 and 62–72 °C for saccharification. Contact us for application-specific dosing guidance.
What pH and temperature does amylase need?
Industrial grades operate best at pH 4.5–7.0 and 55–95 °C, depending on source organism and process design. Aspergillus oryzae grades suit mid-range conditions; Bacillus subtilis grades are selected for hotter liquefaction steps.
Does amylase come in powder or liquid?
Yes. Supplied as light yellow to brown powder or liquid, depending on grade and your plant's dosing system. Packaging options include 25 kg fiber drums, 30 kg jerricans, and bulk supply.
What certifications and documentation ship with every order?
Each lot is supplied with COA and TDS, plus ISO 9001, HALAL, KOSHER, and Food Grade documentation for qualified orders. Share your QA requirements so we can align the file set before shipment.
