Working Mechanism

The fungal alpha-amylase is an endo amylase. It hydrolyze the α-1,4-glucosidic linkages in amylase and amylopectin, producing many maltoses and little maltotriose, glucose and other oligosaccharides.

Application Guide

• In the maltose syrup processing: fungal alpha amylase mainly used in slurry with maltose content <54%. The dosage is 0.1-0.35 L/t dry basis pH 4.8-6.0, 58-60°C for 6-30 hours.
• In the beer industry: it can increase the fermentation degree, improve the residual sugar level and avoid cold muddy (chill haze) in saccharification and fermentation stage. 0.1-0. 3 kg/t dry basis on saccharification stage can increase fermentation degree, 0.002-0.004 kg/t dry basis can avoid cold muddy (chill haze), 0.02-0.1 g/t dry basis can improve the residual sugar level.
• In the bread and steamed bread processing: the recommended dosage is 0.02-0.01 kg/t flour (base on 100000 u/g ), it often blend with xylanase for best performance.
