Amylase Enzyme
Amylase is a carbohydrase that hydrolyses the alpha-1,4 glycosidic bonds in starch, releasing dextrins, maltose and glucose. Alpha-amylase cleaves at random points along the chain, which drops viscosity quickly, while beta- and gluco-amylase work from the chain ends to release sugars. Supplied as a standardised powder or liquid declared in activity units, since enzyme strength rather than mass determines the dose.

Application / Intended Use
Amylase hydrolyses starch to fermentable sugars. Bakeries use it to improve loaf volume and crumb softness and to extend shelf life; brewers and distillers use it for mashing; textile mills use it to desize woven cotton before dyeing; detergent makers include it to remove starch soils. Dosing is by declared activity, not by weight.
