Widely used in food, pharmaceutical, and industrial processing
Amylase is an enzyme that catalyzes the breakdown of starch into smaller carbohydrate units like maltose and glucose. Naturally produced by the pancreas, saliva, and certain microorganisms, amylase plays a key role in both human digestion and industrial starch processing. Commercially, amylase is used in baking (to improve dough handling and loaf volume), brewing (to convert starches into fermentable sugars), and dietary supplements for improved carbohydrate digestion.
