| Application: | Amyloglucosidase from Aspergillus niger is used for the determination of starch. |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Amyloglucosidase from Aspergillus niger is capable of hydrolyzing the α-D-(1-4) and α-(1,6) glucosidic bonds of starch and malto-oligosaccharides. Amyloglucosidase is an extracellular enzyme that converts starch to dextrins and glucose. The enzyme is used in the starch-processing industry in the commercial production of D-glucose from corn syrup. |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Cleaves terminal glucoses that are α1,4- or α1,6-linked to an oligo- or polysaccharide of multiple glucose units. The product is D-glucose. |
| 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. |
