APPLICATION OF GLUCOAMYLASE

APPLICATION OF GLUCOAMYLASE. BY: K.ASMA MSC.BIOTECHNOLOGY.

GLUCOAMYLASE. GLUCOAMYLASE is also known as amylo glucosidase or AMG. IUBMB Enzyme nomenclature EC 3.2.1.3. It is an important digestive enzyme that helps us absorb nutrients and create energy from some of the most common plant food that we eat that can break down these starches into glucose which is used by the body.This helps in smooth digestion. It does this by breaking down the starch that occurs naturally in most vegetables that we eat It also added as a filter or processing additive in prepared food products.

IS GLUCOAMYLASE A CARBOHYDRATE ?. Carbohydrate Digestion , Absorption & Fiber. Glucoamylase is an exo-enzyme, glucose is released one unit at a time from the non reducing end of the glucose chain.

Food which contain glucoamylase. Starchy raw materials such as Corn Cassava Sweet potato Rice wheat.

Production of glucoamylase. Glucoamylase produced in the mouth and pancreas, but it may also be derived from non-animal sources. It is also produced by submerged fermentation of aspergillus niger followed by purification and formulation..

H ealth Ben e fits of Glucoamylase. Support the immune system.

. ROLE OF GLUCOAMYLASE. It is widely used in the food industry to produce high glucose syrup, and also in fermentation process for production of beer & ethanol..

IT IS ONE OF THE OLDEST & WIDELY USED IN BIOCATALYST.

APPLICATION. ALCOHOL & ETHANOL INDUSTRY. STARCH SUGAR INDUSTRY.
