Glucoamylase

Description:
Glucoamylase, with the CAS number 9032-08-0, is an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of starch and glycogen, breaking down complex carbohydrates into simpler sugars, primarily glucose. It is classified as an exo-amylase, meaning it cleaves glucose units from the non-reducing ends of polysaccharides. This enzyme is produced by various microorganisms, including fungi and bacteria, and is widely used in industrial applications, particularly in the food and beverage industry for the production of high-glucose syrups and in brewing processes. Glucoamylase operates optimally at specific pH and temperature ranges, which can vary depending on its source. It is generally considered safe for consumption and is recognized as a food additive. Additionally, glucoamylase plays a role in various biotechnological applications, including bioethanol production and the enzymatic treatment of starch-based materials. Its effectiveness and specificity make it a valuable tool in both research and industrial settings.
