Fungal α-amylase is produced by submerged fermentation of Aspergillus Oryzae followed by purification and formulation. The product depolymerizes starch to produce oligosaccharides and a small amount of dextrin. The product performs well in flour correction and the baking industry.
Fungal α-amylase is an endo type of α-amylase that hydrolyzes the α-1,4-glucosidic linkages of gelatinized starch and soluble dextrin randomly, giving rise to oligosaccharides and a small amount of dextrin which is beneficial for flour correction, yeast growth, crumb structure, and the overall volume of baked products.

The dosage has to be optimized based on each application, raw material specifications, product expectations, and processing parameters. It is recommended to begin tests with a convenient sample volume.
Attention: The specific dosage must be optimized based on test trials depending on processing parameters and substrate quality.
Keep product sealed tightly after every use to prevent microbial infections and to maintain enzyme activity until finished.
Enzyme preparations are proteins that may induce sensitization and cause allergic-type symptoms in susceptible individuals. Prolonged contact may cause minor irritation to skin, eyes, or nasal mucosa. Direct contact with the human body should be avoided. If irritation or allergic response for skin or eyes develops, please consult a medical professional.
Fungal α-amylase is an enzyme produced from Aspergillus Oryzae that hydrolyzes the starch molecules in flour into smaller sugars. This provides nutrients for yeast growth, enhances dough fermentation, and improves crumb structure, crust color, and baked volume.
For standard baking and flour correction, the recommended dosage is 2-4g per ton of flour. However, dosage testing is advised to optimize outcomes based on your specific flour quality and product parameters.
It should be kept sealed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. The product has a shelf life of 12 months under these conditions. Ensure it is sealed tightly immediately after each use to prevent moisture and microbial contamination.
Yes, this food-grade Alpha Amylase enzyme powder complies fully with GB1886.174 national food safety standards for food additives and enzyme preparations.
Since enzymes are proteins, inhalation or direct skin contact may cause mild sensitization or irritation. Avoid breathing in the dust and prevent contact with eyes and skin. If an irritation or allergic reaction occurs, seek medical attention.
Yes, we provide evaluation samples for research and formulation development. Sample orders are generally shipped quickly from existing stocks.
