Determination of Significance:
Amylase is responsible for hydrolyzing starch, including α-amylase and β-amylase. β-amylase (EC 3.2.1.2) cuts α-1, 4 glycoside bonds from the non-reducing end of starch to produce glucose, maltose, maltose, dextrin and other reducing sugars.
Measurement Principle:
Reducing sugar reduced 3,5-dinitrosalicylic acid to form brown red substance. α-amylase is acid-resistant and β-amylase is heat-resistant. According to the above characteristics, the activity of another amylase can be measured by passivating one of them.
Self Provided:
Spectrophotometer, thermostat water bath, centrifuge, transferpettor, 1 mL glass cuvette, mortar/homogenizer, distilled water.
