Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Amylases are starch-degrading enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of internal -1-4 glycosidic bonds in polysaccharides to form simpler sugar constitutes and limit dextrins.
Detailed explanation-2: -Amylase is a digestive enzyme that acts on starch in food, breaking it down into smaller carbohydrate molecules.
Detailed explanation-3: --Amylases can be obtained from plants, animals and microorganisms. However, enzymes from fungal and bacterial sources have dominated applications in industrial sectors. The production of -amylase is essential for conversion of starches into oligosaccharides.
Detailed explanation-4: -Amylase breaks starches into maltose and polysaccharides.
