## Applications
- Baking & Flour Treatment: Hydrolyses damaged starch at dough mixing, generating fermentable sugars for yeast activity. Typical 5–20 ppm on flour weight helps manage crumb structure and loaf volume. Fungal grade available on request.
- Brewing & Distilling: Accelerates mash conversion in all-malt and adjunct grists at 63–67 °C. Thermostable alpha-amylase maintains activity through higher-temp cooker rests to ensure consistent yield before saccharification.
- Starch Liquefaction: Primary liquefaction enzyme for glucose and HFCS syrup manufacture. Reduces viscosity in 30 % DS corn slurry post jet-cook, producing DE 10–15 dextrins at commercial scale.
- Textile Desizing: Removes starch sizing from woven cotton at 60–95 °C and pH 6.0–7.0 in pad-steam or saturator systems. Offers a gentler alternative to alkaline-oxidative methods.
- Paper & Pulp: Modifies starch viscosity in surface sizing and board coatings for improved runnability and pick resistance. Enables precise hydrolysis without over-thinning.
- Fuel Ethanol Liquefaction: Processes 32–33 % DS maize or cassava slurry through jet-cook and flash-cool steps. Thermostable grade pairs with glucoamylase for high-efficiency saccharification.
