A thin layer chromatographic comparison of raw and soluble starch hydrolysis patterns of some α-amylases from Bacillus sp. isolated in Serbia [PDF]
Journal of the Serbian Chemical Society, 2014 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]
, 2011 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 ...

International Journal of Insect Science, 2018 Alpha-amylases are major digestive enzymes that act in the first step of maltopolysaccharide digestion. In insects, these enzymes have long been studied for applied as well as purely scientific purposes. In many species, amylases are produced by multiple gene copies. Rare species are devoid of Amy gene.

Maltooligosaccharides: Properties, Production and Applications
Molecules, 2023 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.

Biochemical characterization of α-amylases from gut and hemolymph of Rhynchophorus ferrugineus Olivieri (Col.: Curculionidae) and their inhibition by extracts from the legumes Vigna radiata L. and Phaseolus vulgaris L. [PDF]
Invertebrate Survival Journal, 2012 α-amylase inhibitors represent an important tool in engineering crop plants against insect pests. For achieving this goal, it is necessary to find the nature of α-amylases and their properties for possible use in a pest management procedure.

Native to designed: microbial α-amylases for industrial applications [PDF]
PeerJ, 2021 Background α-amylases catalyze the endo-hydrolysis of α-1,4-D-glycosidic bonds in starch into smaller moieties. While industrial processes are usually performed at harsh conditions, α-amylases from mainly the bacteria, fungi and yeasts are preferred for ...
