- Amylase is a group of
enzymes whose catalytic function is to hydrolyze (breakdown) sugar and
starch to give diverse products including dextrins, and progressively
smaller polymers composed of glucose units.The a-amylase family
comprises a group of enzymes with a variety of different specificities
that all act on one type of substrate being glucose residues linked
through an alpha-1-1, alpha-1-4, alpha-1-6, glycosidic bonds.
- Amylases are produced
by a variety of living organisms, ranging from bacteria to plants and
humans. Bacteria and fungi secrete amylases to the outside of their
cells to carry out extra-cellular digestion. When they have broken down
the insoluble starch, the soluble end products such as (glucose or
maltose) are absorbed into their cells.
- Amylases can be divided
into two categories, endoamylases and exoamylases. Endoamylases catalyze
hydrolysis in a random manner in the interior of the starch molecule
producing linear and branched oligosaccharides of various chain
lengths.
- Amylases constitute a
class of industrial enzymes having approximately 25% of the enzyme
market. It is desirable that α- amylases should be active at the high
temperatures of gelatinization (100-110°C) and liquefaction (80-90°C) to
economize processes, therefore there has been a need for more
thermophilic and thermostable α-amylases.
- There is a very huge
demand to improve the stability of the enzymes to meet the requirements
set by specific applications, especially with respect to temperature and
pH. α-Amylases are generally stable over a wide range of pH from 4 to11
The temperature optimum for the activity of α-amylase is related to the
growth of the microorganism. Thermostabilities are affectd by many
factors like presence of calcium, substrate and other
stabilizers.
- In Taiwan and other
asian countries, the koji process has been used to produce various
enzymes by growing molds on cereals or their brans. Although protease
and amylase are mainly fungal and eubacterial products, the possibility
of using streptomycetes for enzyme production has recently been
investigated.
- The spectrum of amylase
application has widened in many other fields, such as clinical, medical,
and analytical chemistries, as well as
their wide spread application
in starch sacccharification and in the textile, food, fermentation,
paper, brewing and distilling industries.
- Amylase is also used as
an important component in all “bread improvers” for all types of
yeast-leavened baked goods. Specific amylases have the effect of
altering the structure of the starch in the bread so that the bread
remains soft for a longer time.
- Companies are expanding
their manufacturing bases. Ahmedabadbased Maps India will invest Rs 10
crore for production of new enzymes and
microorganisms during the
current year.Biochemicals is setting up a 100 percent Export Oriented
Unit and is planning to invest over Rs 110 crore at Indore SEZ to
manufacture cellulase, alkali protease, amylase, catalase, xylanase,
acid and neutral protease enzymes.
- Among the specific
types of industrial enzymes, protease and amylase lead the market with
current shares of 25% and 20%, respectively. Both markets are expected
to grow at approximately the same AAGR of 2.8% through the forecast
period. Geographically, the North America market is currently leading
with 36% of total market share and will continue to do so through the
forecast period.
