Alpha-Amylase HT® is a family of five thermostable, food grade, α-amylases that effectively liquefy starch under a broad range of processing conditions. Alpha-Amylase HT®, available in both liquid and powder forms, has been specifically designed for maltose production and starch hydrolysis processes. Alpha-Amylase HT® maintains excellent stability at very high processing temperatures.

​

DESCRIPTION 

Alpha-Amylase HT® is a line of high performance, food grade, bacterial alpha-amylases produced from a selected strain of Bacillus licheniformis that rapidly hydrolyzes α-1,4-glucosidic bonds to reduce the viscosity of gelatinized starches. Alpha-Amylase HT® effectively converts insoluble starch into dextrins and fermentable maltose and glucose.

BENEFITS

• Rapid viscosity reduction

• Efficient DE development

• Promotes high dextrose yield with minimal by-product formation

• Low color formation – reduces refinery costs

• Effective on a wide range of starch substrates such as tapioca, wheat, rice and corn

• Effective at high processing temperatures and maintains its stability
