Recombinant Amylase

Amylase is an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of starch, a polysaccharide composed of glucose units linked primarily by α-1,4-glycosidic bonds, with occasional α-1,6 branches. Amylase specifically targets these glycosidic linkages, breaking down starch into smaller saccharides such as maltose, maltotriose, and glucose.

Immobazyme’s recombinant Amylase is produced in the methylotrophic yeast Pichia pastoris and purified using immobilised metal ion affinity chromatography (IMAC), ensuring high purity, stability, and consistent activity.

Amylase is a digestive enzyme predominantly secreted by the pancreas and salivary glands and is present in other tissues at minimal levels. The primary role of amylases is to break down the glycosidic bonds within starch molecules, transforming complex carbohydrates into simpler sugars.

It plays a crucial role in various industries, including food processing, fermentation, and biotechnology. Amylase is widely used to enhance the texture and shelf life of baked goods, in the production of high-fructose corn syrup, and in various other applications requiring the breakdown of starches.
