The Alpha-galactosidase is produced by submerged fermentation of a selected microbial strain followed by purification, formulation and drying. It is used to remove anti-nutrient factors, such as raffinose and stachyose to solve digestion problems. The product is also capable of hydrolyzing galactomannans synergistically with mannase.

Alpha-galactosidase is a homodimeric glycoprotein that splits off the terminal alpha-galactosyl moieties. It is able to catalyze the hydrolysis of melibiose into galactose and glucose and therefore also called mellibiase. Since there are anti-nutritional carbohydrates, i.e., raffinose and stachyose, which are also called flatulence factor, containing galactose residuals linked with bond in α-configuration in some feed raw materials, such as beans, the use of the enzyme will remove these anti-nutrients and convert them into readily absorbable nutrients.
