Sternzym A 7010

1 of 26 products in this brand
Pure fungal Alpha-amylase for starch decomposition, with excellent activity also at low pH. The Alpha-amylase splits unbranched sections of the starch molecule into smaller components. It only acts on dissolved substrate, i. e. Swollen, damaged starch in the dough or slurry, or on starch that has been thermally modified (pre-gelatinized).

Features & Benefits

Features
  • Rapid and reliable starch decomposition
  • Enhances fermentation of dough and mash
  • Improves the break-down of food and food remains
  • Baking:
    - Increases volume
    - Imparts fine and soft crumb structure at low dosages, coarse crumb structure at high dosage
    - Improves browning
    - Prolongs shelf life

Applications & Uses

Food & Nutrition Applications
Applications
  • Starch degradation in
    - bread and other bakery products
    - drinks such as beer and apple juice to improve storage stability
    - food production remains
  • Standardization of wheat flours
  • Yeast raised bread, cakes and pastries
Dosage
  • General recommendation: Depending on viscosity, pH, temperature and substrate approx. 0.4 – 2 g/100 kg dry matter.
  • Flour treatment and bread applications: A flour with a Falling Number (FN) between 300 and 350 s usually requires a dosage of 4 – 6 ppm (0.4 – 0.6 g per 100 kg), a flour with FN = 350 – 400 about 6 – 12 ppm, and a flour with FN > 400 about 12 – 20 ppm.
