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

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

Properties: beta-Amylase offers significant benefits and versatile applications across the food and beverage industry due to its ability to efficiently hydrolyse starch into high-purity maltose. Its key advantages include improved sweetness, enhanced flavour development, and clean-label formulation since maltose provides a natural alternative to added sugars. In baking, beta-amylase supports better dough handling, improved crumb softness, and desirable browning through increased fermentable sugars. In brewing and distilling, it boosts fermentability, enhances attenuation, and contributes to a consistent, malt-forward flavour profile. The enzyme also plays a central role in producing maltose syrups and carbohydrate ingredients for confectionery and processed foods, where controlled starch conversion is essential. Additionally, beta-amylase improves extraction efficiency in cereal processing and supports smoother texture and flavor release in plant-based beverages. Overall, its stability, natural action, and high maltose yield make beta-amylase a valuable tool for creating high-quality, efficient, and consumer-friendly food products.
