PRODUCTION OF AMYLASE FROM MICROBIAL SOURCES: A REVIEW Authors: Upadhyay D , GOJIYA R, ANDHARE P, MARCHAWALA F, BHATTACHARYA I
ABSTRACT
Amylase is one of oldest enzyme. Amylase is naturally produced in humans by the salivary
glands and pancreas. It can also be found naturally in plants and animals. Amylase is an
enzyme that converts the hydrolysis of starch into sugar. Amylase divided into three types: 1)
?-amylase 2) ß-amylase and 3) ?-amylase. ?-amylase: Alpha-amylase, is an enzyme EC
3.2.1.1 that hydrolyses alpha bonds of large,it is the major form of amylase found in humans
and other mammals. ß-amylasethe enzymes in the second group, exoamylases, are
exclusively cleaved a, 1-4. glycoside bonds such as beta-amylase or cleavage glycoside bonds
a,1-4 and a,1-6. Amyl glucosidase or glucoamylase and ?-glucosidase. ?-amylase: Y1-
amylase cuts glycosidic ? (1-6) compounds, in addition to purifying the final ? (1-
4) glycosidic links in the non-limiting structure of amylose and amylopectin, express
glucose. Unlike other types of amylase, ?-amylase works best in acidic environments and
contains 3 pH high. Two major groups of microorganisms play an important role in
amylase.production, namely: bacteria and fungi. Starch is a substrate used in the production
of amylase. In betweentwo fermentation processes used in the production of amylase (e.g.,
immersed boiling and solid state fermentation), this has great benefits as it saves costs, produces less pollution, and is higher a lot of product. In this review, various applications,
production and factors affecting amylase activities are discussed.
