Enzymes   Probiotics   Biofertilizers   Biopesticides   Effluent Treatment   Projects Enzymes - Amylase - Alpha amylase The Amylases constitute a large group of enzymes. They are characterized by their ability to hydrolyze 1,4-glucoside linkages in polysaccharides. Alpha-Amylases are exoenzymes. They attack all linkages between glucose units in the starch molecules. The bond hydrolyzed is between carbon and oxygen atom linked to the adjacent glucose group. Alpha-Amylases vary in their effectiveness, depending on their source. The substrate for Alpha-Amylases is starch. Two types of microbial Alpha-Amylases have been recognized and termed "Liquefying and "Saccharifying" Alpha-Amylases. The main difference between them is that the saccharifying enzyme produces a higher yield of reducing sugar than liquifying enzymes. Alpha amylase enzymes are used to hydrolyze the starch. Alpha amylases are used in the textile and paper industries, mainly to dissolve and remove starch or to coat starch paper. Amylases are used in laundry to remove the spots from clothes in conjugation with proteases. Amylase also used in brewing industries in initial breakdown of starchy substrates. Amylases are used in clarification of fruit juices for jam and jelly manufacture. Amylases are used in production of chocolate syrups. Amylase is a digestive enzyme needed to digest carbohydrates.Therefore, Amylases has a vast significance in day-to-day industrial fields
