Production and Partial Characterization of α-Amylase Enzyme from Bacillus sp. BCC 01-50 and Potential Applications

Figure 12

Hydrolysis efficiency of amylase produced by Bacillus sp. BCC 01-50 towards different starchy materials including soluble starch, wheat starch, corn starch, and potato starch. 1% starch was mixed with crude amylase enzyme and reaction was incubated at 65°C for 120 minutes. Samples were collected at different interval and hydrolysis efficiency was calculated according to given equation in Materials and Methods.
