Starch is an important storage compound in plants that has many benefits for human beings. It has complex structure and made of two polymers: amylose and amylopectin; so the combination of enzymes is needed for its decomposition. Many of these enzymes exist in natural resources. In industry, starch is used in producing different compounds. Some of them are made by chemical methods but others are produced by just enzymes. Starch processing enzymes are categorized into two groups based on their operation. The first group are hydrolases that hydrolyze glycoside bonds by water as endo and exo. The second group are glocanohydrolases which break one glycoside α-1.4 bond and creates a new glycoside α-1.4 or α-1.6 linkages.

Starch processing enzymes manufactured by ANSEL BIOTECH help manufacturers to easily break down complex starch polymers during the production, allowing them to accelerate production and improve the quality of their products.

ENZYME USED	USAGE	PURPOSE
High temperature alpha amylase	For Liquefaction process	SELZYME – HTA – ST increases wort yield and grain adjunct cooking capacity.
Glucoamylase and Pullulanase	For Saccharification process	SELZYME – AMG - ST produces high dextrose equivalent at the end of saccharification process.
Beta Amylase	For Maltose preparation	SELZYME – BETA AMY is used for the production of maltose syrup.
