Amylase

Amylase

Product Description

Amylases are a class of enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of starch into sugars such as glucose and maltose. Amylase is an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of starch into sugars. Amylase is present in the saliva of humans and some other mammals, where it begins the chemical process of digestion. Foods that contain large amounts of starch but little sugar, such as rice and potatoes, may acquire a slightly sweet taste as they are chewed because amylase degrades some of their starch into sugar. The pancreas and salivary gland make amylase (alpha amylase) to hydrolyze dietary starch into disaccharides and trisaccharides which are converted by other enzymes to glucose to supply the body with energy. Plants and some bacteria also produce amylase. 

 

There are three types of Amylase:

1) α-Amylase

2) β-Amylase

3) γ-Amylase
