beta-Amylase: High activity beta-amylase for digesting starch.

Properties: Beta-amylase 700K is a medium temperature beta (exo)-amylase produced by plant extraction techniques. The enzyme hydrolyses 1,4-α-glucosidic linkages in amylase at the non-reducing end to produce maltose units (Walden conversion from alpha to beta maltose). The enzyme cannot hydrolyse α-1,6 – glucosidic linkages (no glucose is produced).

Applications include: Agriculture, Starch Processing, Food Processing, Brewing, Baking, Biofuels. 

Activity: Activity minimum 700,000 μ/ml (where 1μ/ml is defined as the amount of enzyme in 1ml enzyme solution to liquefy 1.1% soluble starch / hour at pH 5.5 & 60°C).
