Description

General description

Stabilized with glucose.
Amyloglucosidase is a disaccharidase−type alpha-glucosidase, produced by several species of Aspergillus genus. Immobilization of amyloglucosidase is known to increased its stability.

Application

Amyloglucosidase from Aspergillus niger has been used in in vitro digestions. It has also been used in the isolation of insoluble and soluble dietary fibre from quinoa and amaranth.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Amyloglucosidase from Aspergillus niger is capable of hydrolyzing the α-D-(1-4), the α-D-(1-6), and the α-D-(1-3) glucosidic bonds of oligosaccharides. Amyloglucosidase is an extracellular enzyme that converts starch to dextrins and glucose. The enzyme is used in the starch-processing industry for the commercial production of D-glucose from corn syrups.
