Thermostable powdered alpha-amylase enzyme for hydrolysis of long-chain starch molecules into short-chain dextrins. For use in mashing of grains, potato or any other starch-based substrate prior to saccharification (with glucoamylase) & ethanolic fermentation.

Directions:

1. Add 1/3 of the sachet contents to the mash. After boil, adjust temperature to 185–203°F
2. (85–95°C), add the other 2/3 of the sachet and hold temperature for 60 minutes before cooling.
3. Optimum pH is 6 to 6.5.
4. Enzyme is stable up to 230°F (110°C).
5. Optimum activity at 185–203°F (85–95°C).

Note: all enzymes require 50ppm calcium ions for maximum activity and stability.
