General description

Starch is an insoluble starch substrate specific for α-amylase and not for other exo enzymes. α-amylase catalysis of starch azure solubilization is measured at 595 nm.
Substrate for colorimetric determination of α-amylase.

Application

Starch Azure has been used as a substrate
  • in the screening of α-amylase activity in decontaminated malted flour at varying pH and temperature
  • for monitoring the inhibitory activity of Physalis peruviana extracts
  • for thermostable α-amylase extracted from deep sea and acidic soil
