We identify and characterise α-amylases of the two aphid species, A. fabae and A. gossypi. To do this, α-amylases of the two insect species were extracted and their activities were determined using 1% soluble starch.

Maltooligosaccharides: Properties, Production and Applications
Maltooligosaccharides (MOS) are homooligosaccharides that consist of 3–10 glucose molecules linked by α-1,4 glycosidic bonds. As they have physiological functions, they are commonly used as ingredients in nutritional products and functional foods.

Amylases and Their Importance during Glycan Degradation: Genome Sequence Release of Salmonella Amylase Knockout Strains. [PDF]
Amylases catalyze the cleavage of α-d-1,4 and α-d-1,6-glycosidic bonds in starch and related carbohydrates. Amylases are widely distributed in nature and are important in carbohydrate metabolism.

A thin layer chromatographic comparison of raw and soluble starch hydrolysis patterns of some α-amylases from Bacillus sp. isolated in Serbia [PDF]
Several natural isolates of Bacillus strains namely 5B, 12B, 16B, 18 and 24B were grown on two different temperatures in submerged fermentation for the raw-starch-digesting a-amylases production. All strains except Bacillus sp.

Impact of calcium on salivary α-amylase activity, starch paste apparent viscosity and thickness perception [PDF]
Thickness perception of starch-thickened products during eating has been linked to starch viscosity and salivary amylase activity. Calcium is an essential cofactor for α-amylase and there is anecdotal evidence that adding extra calcium affects ...
