NON-GMO Bacterial Alpha-Amylase BAA-0200 for Bakery

A high concentration NON-GMO Alpha-Amylase for baking industry, can maximize the fermentation process, get high loaf volume and desirable texture, and also helps to extendshelf-life.

Bacterial Alpha-Amylase BAA-0200 is made from submerged culture of Non-GMO Bacillus subtilis through extraction and refining processes. It is an endoamylase, which can quickly decrease the viscosity of the gelatinous starch solution by randomly hydrolyzing starch, glycogen and its degradation products within the α-1, 4 glycosidic bonds and produces soluble dextrins and oligosaccharides. Excessive hydrolysis may result in glucose and maltose.

APPLLICATION AND BENEFITS

Bacterial Alpha-amylases has the function of preservative and anti-staling. Use of this enzyme in baking can enhance the elasticity and texture of bread. However, the high thermal stability of this enzyme enables it remain active during the baking process, which may produce more convertible starches. Starches can be more easily hydrolyzed after gelatinization in baking, hence may result in undesirable stickiness of bread. Therefore, the accurate dosage rate of BAA-0200 should be decided depending on the actual baking conditions, type of baking and bread.

EFFECT OF PH

Stable pH range for BAA-0200 is 6.0 to 7.0, optimum pH range is 6.0 to 6.5, inactivated dramatically with pH below 5.0.

EFFECT OF TEMPERATURE

BAA-0200 is stable at temperatures below 60°C, optimum temperature ranges from 60 to 90°C.

EFFECT OF CALCIUM

The presence of calcium ion plays a protective role for the stability of enzyme activity. The enzyme activity may disappear completely if without calcium ion. The pH range of BAA-0200 can be broadened by adding calcium ions. A calcium concentration of 150 ppm (dry solids basis) is sufficient to ensure the enzyme stability.

INHIBITORS

Copper, titanium and cobalt ions are moderate inhibitors on this product. Aluminum, lead and zinc ions are strong inhibitors.

PACKAGING, SHELF-LIFE AND SAFE HANDLING

BAA-0200 is packaged in 25kg water-proof kraft paper bags or 25kg cardboard drums with food grade plastic bags inside. Customized packaging is available upon request.

BAA-0200 has been formulated for optimal stability. Its typical shelf-life is six months if it is stored below 25°Cin its original packaging, sealed and unopened, protected from the sunlight. Its shelf-life is eighteen months if it is stored properly at 0∼10°C. Prolonged storage and/or adverse conditions such as higher temperatures may lead to higher dosage requirement, therefore should be avoided.

Inhalation of enzyme dust and mists should be avoided. In case of contact with skins or eyes, promptly rinse with water for at least 15 minutes. For detailed handling information, please refer to the Material Safety Data Sheet.
