AMYLOGLUCOSIDASE Usage And Synthesis

Description

Amyloglucosidase is obtained by the semi-solid state fermentation of non-pathogenic and nontoxicogenic strains of the fungus Aspergillus niger.
Amyloglucosidase is an enzyme preparation which decomposes starches or dextrins into glucose by the hydrolysis of 1,4-α, 1,6-α and 1,3-α glucosidic linkages to yield glucose. Amyloglucosidase is widely used in food and fermentation industries in the process of starch saccharification. It is also widely used as an industrial catalyst in many industries such as baking, detergents, sewage treatment, and natural sweeteners.

Uses

Amyloglucosidase is used to hydrolyze α-D-glucosides. It may be used in the brewing of beer and in the production of bread and juices. Amyloglucosidase, from Rhizopus sp., has been used to study the cleavage of oligosaccharides during ER-associated degradation of proteins (ERAD). The enzyme has been used in the glycosylation of N-vanillyl-nonanamide to form a water-soluble component with pharmacological applications. The glycogen was estimated in stipe residue of Coprinus cinereus by treating with amyloglucosidase and measuring the amount of glucose produced.

Uses

Amyloglucosidase from Aspergillus niger is used to hydrolyze α-D-glucosides. It may be used in the brewing of beer and in the production of bread and juices. Amyloglucosidase, from Sigma, has been used to hydrolyze glycogen into glucose monomers in order to study lipid accumulation in skeletal muscle .

Uses

Amyloglucosidase from Aspergillus niger can be used for the hydrolyzation of terminal α1,4- and α1,6-glucosidic bonds (glucose-glucose bonds) in polysaccharides (e.g., starch, dextrins, glycogen), removing glucose units sequentially from the non-reducing end of the molecule. The enzyme will also cleave maltose and maltosides (maltotriose, maltotetraose, etc.).

Definition

An enzyme used commercially to convert starches to dextrose.

General Description

Amyloglucosidase, a 1,4-α-D-glucan glucohydrolase, is a disaccharidase–type α-glucosidase. It is synthesized by several Aspergillus genus species. This exo-enzyme is one of the major industrial enzymes. The stability of amyloglucosidase can be increased by immobilization.

Flammability and Explosibility

Not classified

Biochem/physiol Actions

Amyloglucosidase from Aspergillus niger is capable of hydrolyzing the α-D-(1-4), the α-D-(1-6), and the α-D-(1-3) glucosidic bonds of oligosaccharides .

Safety Profile

When heated to decomposition it emits acrid smoke and irritating fumes .
