Description
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
