AMYLASE

AMYLASE, N° CAS : 9000-92-4, N° CAS 9000-90-2; Nom INCI : AMYLASE, N° EINECS/ELINCS : 232-567-7. Classification : Enzymes. Ses fonctions (INCI) : Agent d'entretien de la peau : Maintient la peau en bon état.L'amylase (EC 3.2.1.1), est une enzyme digestive classée comme saccharidase (enzyme qui brise les polysaccharides). C'est surtout un constituant du suc pancréatique et de la salive, requis pour le catabolisme des glucides à longue chaîne (comme l'amidon) en unités plus petites. L'amylase est également synthétisée dans de nombreuses espèces de fruits pendant leur maturation, ce qui les rend plus sucrés, et aussi durant la germination des grains de céréales. Elle joue un rôle essentiel dans l'amylolyse (ou hydrolyse) de l'amidon de malt d'orge, processus nécessaire à la fabrication de la bière, ainsi que dans l'hydrolyse du glycogène, permettant sa transformation en glucose.Noms français : Amylase (alpha); Amylase alpha. Noms anglais : ALPHA.-AMYLASE; ALPHA AMYLASE; alpha-Amylase; ALPHAAMYLASE; AMYLASE, .ALPHA.-; AMYLASE, ALPHA-; Utilisation ; Enzyme. Amylase (/ˈæmɪleɪz/) is an enzyme that catalyses the hydrolysis of starch (Latin amylum) into sugars. Amylase is present in the saliva of humans and some mammals, where it begins the chemical process of digestion. Foods that contain large amounts of starch but little sugar, such as rice and potatoes, may acquire a slightly sweet taste as they are chewed because amylase degrades some of their starch into sugar. The pancreas and salivary gland make amylase (alpha amylase) to hydrolyse dietary starch into disaccharides and trisaccharides which are converted by enzymes to glucose to supply the body with energy. Plants and some bacteria also produce amylase. Specific amylase proteins are designated by different Greek letters. All amylases are glycoside hydrolases and act on α-1,4-glycosidic bonds. β-Amylase An form of amylase, β-amylase (EC 3.2.1.2 ) (alternative names: 1,4-α-D-glucan maltohydrolase; glycogenase; saccharogen amylase) is also synthesized by bacteria, fungi, and plants. Working from the non-reducing end, β-amylase catalyzes the hydrolysis of the second α-1,4 glycosidic bond, cleaving off two glucose units (maltose) at a time. During the ripening of fruit, β-amylase breaks starch into maltose, resulting in the sweet flavor of ripe fruit! They belong to glycoside hydrolase family. Both α-amylase and β-amylase are present in seeds; β-amylase is present in an inactive form prior to germination, whereas α-amylase and proteases appear once germination has begun. Many microbes also produce amylase to degrade extracellular starches. Animal tissues do not contain β-amylase, although it may be present in microorganisms contained within the digestive tract. The optimum pH for β-amylase is 4.0–5.0
