Fungal Alpha-amylase is produced by submerged
fermentation of Aspergillus Oryzae followed by purification and formulation. The product depolymerizes starch leading to the liquefaction of starch,
viscosity reduction and contains little side activities.
Fungal Alpha-amylase is an endo type of α-amylase that hydrolyzes the α-1,4-glucosidic
linkages of gelatinized starch and soluble dextrins randomly, reducing the high
viscosity of the starch slurry, giving rise to o oligosaccharides and a small
amount of dextrin.
