Diastase
Introduction
Introduction Diastase is a group of amylolytic enzymes that catalyze the breakdown of starch into maltose, dextrins, and simpler sugars. Diastase is widely used in pharmaceutical, food processing, brewing, baking, fermentation, and nutraceutical industries due to its efficient starch hydrolysis capability. The enzyme complex primarily contains alpha-amylase and related carbohydrase activities that assist in carbohydrate digestion and starch conversion processes.
Source
Diastase is commonly produced through controlled microbial or fungal fermentation using selected strains such as: Aspergillus Spp. Bacillus Spp. It may also be derived from malted cereals such as barley. The enzyme is purified and standardized under controlled manufacturing conditions to ensure consistent activity, stability, and product quality.
