Fungal Alpha-Amylase FAA®
Fungal Alpha-Amylase FAA® is a family of four non-GMO fungal alpha-amylases and is available in both food and industrial grades for use in the baking and fuel ethanol industries. Fungal Alpha-Amylase FAA® is used for starch liquefaction and also saccharification to produce soluble dextrins, maltose, and a small quantity of glucose.
​
DESCRIPTION
Fungal Alpha-Amylase FAA® is a group of fungal alpha-amylases produced from a non-genetic modified strain of Aspergillus oryzae.
-
FAA-280 & FAA-400 are non-GMO fungal alpha-amylases (in liquid form) specifically designed for the fuel ethanol industry. These enzymes allow you to increase the ethanol yield by improving efficiency of saccharification and fermentable sugar conversion.
-
FAA-5000 & FAA-5100 are non-GMO food grade fungal alpha-amylases (in powder form) specifically designed for the baking industry. These enzymes allow for improved loaf volume in addition to improved texture and appearance.
