Fungal Amylase

FUNGALASE is our highest concentration fungal alpha-amylase preparation derived from Aspergillus oryzae. Side activities present are hemi-cellulase, beta-glucanase and protease.

This rapid acting hydrolase is particularly active in the mildly acidic pH range and readily degrades a wide variety of starch containing substrates. Fungalase is well suited for numerous industrial, sanitary and agricultural processes where it’s pH range is often complementary to alpha amylase from bacterial sources. This product also contains unidentified fermentation factors (UGF’s) which may act in a catalytic fashion in ethanol and other fermentation processes.

Uses: FUNGALASE is  used in commercial starch modification, cleaning compounds, textile processing, fermentation pretreatment and animal feed supplements. This product is available in two concentrations.

Appearance: Tan, free flowing powder with a pleasant, fermentation aroma.

Activity: 500,000 MWU/g.; 1,000,000 MWU/g.

Package Size: 10,25 and 50 Lb. or Kg. fiber drums.
