Introduction
Amylases (E.C. 3.2.1.1.) are starch-
degrading enzymes that catalyze the
hydrolysis glycosidic bonds in
polysaccharides.

Types of amylase
These enzymes are classified as per their
action on the glycosidic bond.
• α-amylase (E.C. 3.2.1.1)
• β-amylase (E.C. 3.2.1.2)
• γ-amylase (E.C. 3.2.1.3)
• α-Glucosidase (E.C. 3.2.1.20)
1. Endoamylases: Cleave internal α-1,4 bonds resulting in α anomeric
products.
2. Exoamylases: Cleave α-1,4 or a-1,6 bonds of the external glucose
residues resulting in α or β anomeric products.
3. Debranching enzymes: Hydrolyse α-1,6 bonds exclusively leaving
long linear polysaccharides.
4. Transferases: Cleave α-1,4 glycosidic bond of the donor molecule
and transfer part of the donor to a glycosidic acceptor
forming a new glycosidic bond.

Source of Production
Plant
• Not considered a significant source for the commercial production of amylase.
• Agricultural wastes are used in the production.
Animal
• Ptyalin, a salivary α-amylase (40% total salivary protein )
• Calcium containing metalloenzyme, hydrolyzes α-1,4 linkages of starch.
Microbial
• Fungal (Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus oryzae, Penicillium, Thermomyces lanuginosus)
• Bacterial (Bacillus spp.)
Fermentative production
Used to convert moist agricultural polymeric into
fermented food products. It is simple technique, low
capital investment, lower levels of catabolite repression
and end-product inhibition, low waste water output,
better product recovery, and high quality production.
In this, enzymes and other reactive compounds
are submerged in a liquid such as alcohol, oil or a
nutrient broth. The process is used for a variety of
purposes, mostly in industrial manufacturing.

Carbon Sources
Carbon sources such as galactose, glycogen and inulin
suitable for B. licheniformis and Bacillus sp. maltose, a-
methyl -D-glucoside, resulted in 3-fold higher a-
amylase production.
Nitrogen media
• Soya bean meal - Bacillus sp. Strains of B.
stearothermophilus and B. amylolyticus secreted
maximum a-amylase in a medium supplemented with 1 %
peptone, 0.5 % yeast extract and 0.5 % maltose under
vigorous shaking conditions.
• Yeast extract also resulted in significant a-amylase yield.
• Addition of corn steep liquor and ammonium hydrogen
phosphate to SSF involving Amaranthus grains as
substrate by A. flavus gave high enzyme yield.
Moisture
• Most important parameters in SSF that influences the
growth of the organism and thereby enzyme
production.
• a-Amylase production by Bacillus licheniformis was
highest with 65 % initial moisture content in an SSF
system.
• High Moisture content = Decrease production
pH
• It determines the growth and morphology of microorganisms
as they are sensitive to the concentration of hydrogen ions
present in the medium.
• pH is known to affect the synthesis and secretion of a-amylase
just like its stability.
• pH=5.0–6.0 = A. oryzae, A. ficuum and A. niger = significant
yields
• pH=5.0 = Saccharomyces cerevisiae and S. kluyveri =
maximum enzyme production.
• pH=7.0 = Clostridium thermosulfurogenes = maximum yield
Surfactants
Increase the secretion of proteins by increasing cell
membrane permeability.
Increase the production of extracellular enzymes.

Purification
Downstream processing for the production of pure
enzymes can generally constitute a major percentage of
overall production cost. Purification processes in
downstream processing after fermentation strongly
depend on the market, processing cost, final quality, and
available technology.
Application

Glucose and
Maltose syrup
*DE is a measure of the
amount of reducing
sugars present in a
sugar product, relative
to dextrose (glucose).
