1lb Alpha Amylase Enzyme

Alpha-amylase (EC 3.2.1.1) is a crucial glycoside hydrolase enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of internal α-1,4-glycosidic bonds in large polysaccharides like starch and glycogen. This endoenzymatic action breaks down these complex carbohydrates into smaller molecules such as dextrins, maltose, and maltotriose, which are further processed by other enzymes into glucose for energy.
