Amyloglucosidase from Aspergillus niger has been used in in vitro digestions. It has also been used in the isolation of insoluble and soluble dietary fibre from quinoa and amaranth.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Amyloglucosidase from Aspergillus niger is capable of hydrolyzing the ?-D-(1-4), the ?-D-(1-6), and the ?-D-(1-3) glucosidic bonds of oligosaccharides. Amyloglucosidase is an extracellular enzyme that converts starch to dextrins and glucose. The enzyme is used in the starch-processing industry for the commercial production of D-glucose from corn syrups.
General description
Stabilized with glucose.Amyloglucosidase is a disaccharidase?type alpha-glucosidase, produced by several species of Aspergillus genus. Immobilization of amyloglucosidase is known to increased its stability.
