Diastase CAS 9000-92-4

Diastase is a digestive enzyme mainly secreted by the pancreas and salivary glands, but it is rarely found in other tissues as well. Amylase was first described in the 1800s and is regarded as one of the earliest enzymes to be scientifically studied in history. It was originally called an offensive digestive fluid, but was later renamed amylase in the early 20th century. The main function of amylase is to hydrolyze the glycosidic bonds in starch molecules, converting complex carbohydrates into monosaccharides. Amylases are mainly classified into three types: α-, β- and γ- amylases act on different parts of carbohydrate molecules respectively. α -amylase can be found in humans, animals, plants and microorganisms. β -amylase exists in microorganisms and plants. γ -amylase exists in animals and plants.

Diastase is a general term for enzymes that hydrolyze starch and glycogen. Usually, it catalyzes the hydrolysis of starch slurry on fabrics through amylase. Due to the high efficiency and specificity of amylase, the desizing rate of enzymatic desizing is high, the desizing is fast, the pollution is less, and the product is softer than that of acid and alkali methods, and does not damage the fibers.

DIASTASE is an enzyme preparation. It is the most widely used and consumed type among enzyme preparations. It is mainly used for dough improvement in bread production (reducing dough viscosity, accelerating the fermentation process, increasing sugar content, and mitigating bread aging). Pretreatment of cereal raw materials in infant and toddler food (starch hydrolysis) It is used for saccharification and decomposition of undecomposed starch in beer manufacturing. Liquefaction and saccharification of starch in sake production; Saccharification and decomposition of undecomposed starch in the alcohol industry; Starch decomposition in juice processing and improvement of filtration rate; As well as vegetable processing, syrup manufacturing, maltose production, powdered dextrin, glucose and other processing and manufacturing.
