Amylase Powder

Product Description

What Is Amylase？

Amylase is a digestive enzyme found in humans, animals, plants, and microbes that breaks down complex carbohydrates (starches) into simpler sugars, which the body uses for energy. In the human body, it’s primarily made in the salivary glands and pancreas and plays a crucial role in digestion, though it’s also used in baking and other industries to break down starch into sugars.

Amylase, any member of a class of enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis (splitting of a compound by addition of a water molecule) of starch into smaller carbohydrate molecules such as maltose (a molecule composed of two glucose molecules). Three categories of amylases, denoted alpha, beta, and gamma, differ in the way they attack the bonds of the starch molecules.

Alpha-amylase is widespread among living organisms. In the digestive systems of humans and many other mammals, an alpha-amylase called ptyalin is produced by the salivary glands, whereas pancreatic amylase is secreted by the pancreas into the small intestine. The optimum pH of alpha-amylase is 6.7–7.0.

Beta-amylases are present in yeasts, molds, bacteria, and plants, particularly in the seeds. They are the principal components of a mixture called diastase that is used in the removal of starchy sizing agents from textiles and in the conversion of cereal grains to fermentable sugars. Beta-amylase has an optimum pH of 4.0–5.0.

Gamma-amylases are known for their efficiency in cleaving certain types of glycosidic linkages in acidic environments. The optimum pH of gamma-amylase is 3.0.

Amylase Benefits

• Digestive Benefits

Carbohydrate Breakdown:
Amylase is crucial for digesting complex carbohydrates and starches found in foods like grains and starchy vegetables, converting them into simple sugars that the body can absorb.
Nutrient Absorption:
Efficient carbohydrate digestion by amylase aids the body in absorbing other essential nutrients from food.
Gut Health:
Proper digestion supported by amylase can promote a healthy gut and prevent issues like constipation and bloating.
Reduced Discomfort:
It helps stabilize blood sugar levels, which can alleviate digestive discomfort.

• Other Health Benefits

Inflammation Management:
Oral amylase supplements may support healthy inflammation management, particularly for issues like joint swelling.
Stress & Sleep Indicator:
Levels of salivary alpha-amylase are highly sensitive to psychosocial stress and sleep deficits.
Metabolic Health:
Studies suggest a potential link between low amylase levels and increased risks of metabolic health conditions.
Age-Related Support:
Amylase production naturally declines with age, and supplementation can help maintain normal levels.

Amylase Industrial Uses

• Food Industry

Sweetener Production: Amylase converts starch into syrups like glucose syrup and fructose syrup, which are used in sweets, baked goods, and other foods.
Baking: It breaks down starches in flour, helping the dough rise by producing carbon dioxide and ethanol from yeast fermentation, while also adding flavor and acting as an anti-staling agent.
Brewing: In brewing, it converts starch from grains into fermentable sugars, which yeast then converts to alcohol.

• Textile Industry

Amylase removes starch-based sizing agents from fabrics after weaving to prepare them for dyeing and scouring.

• Paper Industry

It is used to hydrolyze starch, which is a component in many papermaking processes.

• Fuel Production

In the production of bioethanol, amylase breaks down starch into fermentable sugars that yeast can convert into ethanol.

• Health and Diagnostic Uses

Digestion:
Amylase is naturally produced in the human salivary glands and pancreas to begin the digestive process by breaking down complex carbohydrates into simple sugars.
Diagnostics:
Amylase levels in blood and urine are measured to help diagnose pancreatitis.
