a-Amylase (Diastase) 2000 Anson Unit/Gm

The Anson Unit (also expressed as I.P. Units) is a standard measure of enzyme activity. It represents the number of grams of dry, soluble maize or corn starch digested by 1.0 g of alpha-amylase at pH 5.0 and 40°C, prepared in acetate buffer. A rating of 2000 Anson Unit/Gm means that 1 gram of this enzyme can digest 2000 grams of dry soluble starch under defined conditions. This high activity rating makes it extremely potent and cost-effective for industrial and laboratory applications, where precise enzymatic performance is critical for process consistency and yield

Food & Starch Industry — Used extensively in starch saccharification and in the food industry for the production of glucose syrups, fermentable sugars, and related products.

Textile Industry — Used in the removal of starchy sizing agents from textiles and in the conversion of cereal grains to fermentable sugars.

Pharmaceutical & Clinical Use — Applied across clinical, medicinal, and analytical chemistry, including use as a digestive enzyme supplement.

Brewing & Distillation — Plays a key role in brewing, fermentation, and distilled alcohol production by breaking down complex starches into fermentable sugars.

Paper Industry — Used in the paper industry for starch modification and processing.

Research & Laboratory Use — Used in biochemical assays, enzyme activity studies, and microbiological culture media preparation.

α-Amylase (Diastase) has optimal activity at pH 5.0 and 40°C, as prepared in acetate buffer. Deviating significantly from these conditions — such as using highly acidic or alkaline pH, or excessively high temperatures — can denature the enzyme and reduce its activity. For best results in laboratory and industrial applications, it is recommended to maintain the substrate solution within the specified pH and temperature range. Always refer to the product datasheet or MSDS supplied with every order from ibuychemikals for precise operating parameters.

Enzymes are biologically active proteins and require careful storage to preserve their potency. α-Amylase (Diastase) 2000 Anson Unit/Gm should be stored in a cool, dry place away from heat, moisture, and direct sunlight, preferably at 2°C to 8°C (refrigerated) in a tightly sealed container. Exposure to high temperatures, humidity, or repeated freeze-thaw cycles can significantly reduce enzymatic activity over time. In plants, amylases play a significant role in seed germination and starch digestion, making enzyme stability critical to maintaining functional integrity. Always keep the container sealed when not in use and refer to the MSDS provided with your ibuychemikals order for complete storage and handling instructions
