Alpha Galactosidase
Alpha Galactosidase is a digestive enzyme that breaks down complex carbohydrates (oligosaccharides), such as raffinose and stachyose, found in beans, legumes, and cruciferous vegetables. By converting these hard-to-digest sugars into simpler forms, it prevents fermentation in the gut, thereby reducing bloating, gas, and abdominal discomfort
Introduction
Alpha Galactosidase is a specialized carbohydrate-digesting enzyme that helps break down complex sugars known as oligosaccharides into simpler, easily digestible sugars. It is widely used in, nutraceutical, industries to improve digestion and reduce gastrointestinal discomfort caused by gas-producing foods.
Alpha Galactosidase is particularly effective in digesting raffinose-family sugars commonly found in beans, legumes, soy products, and cruciferous vegetables.
Source
Alpha Galactosidase is commonly produced through controlled microbial fermentation using selected fungal or microbial strains such as:
- Aspergillus Spp
The enzyme is purified and standardized to ensure high activity, stability, and consistent product quality.
