AMYLOGLUCOSIDASE FROM ASPERGILLUS NIGER

Description_x000D_ General description_x000D_ We are committed to bringing you Greener Alternative Products, which adhere to one or more of The 12 Principles of Greener Chemistry. This product has been enhanced for energy efficiency and waste prevention when used in starch ethanol research. For more information see the article in biofiles._x000D_ Application_x000D_ Amyloglucosidase from Aspergillus niger is used to hydrolyze α-D-glucosides. It may be used in the brewing of beer and in the production of bread and juices. Amyloglucosidase, from Sigma, has been used to hydrolyze glycogen into glucose monomers in order to study lipid accumulation in skeletal muscle ._x000D_ Packaging_x000D_ 25, 100 mg in poly bottle_x000D_ 5 mg in glass bottle_x000D_ Biochem/physiol Actions_x000D_ 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 in the commercial production of D-glucose from corn syrup._x000D_ Unit Definition_x000D_ One unit will liberate 1.0 mg of glucose from starch in 3 min at pH 4.5 at 55 °C._x000D_ Physical form_x000D_ Lyophilized powder containing less than 0.02% glucose_x000D_ Other Notes_x000D_ View more information on enzymes for complex carbohydrate analysis at www.sigma-aldrich.com/enzymeexplorer
