light yellow to milky white powder, containing 5% to 8% of water. The heat resistance of the enzyme is very high, in the presence of an appropriate amount of calcium salt, at pH 5.3~7.0, temperature 93~95, still maintain a high enough activity. The optimum pH value was 6.0~6.4, and the optimum temperature was 85~94. Calcium ions can improve the stability of enzyme activity.
using Bacillus subtilis as production bacteria, corn flour, soybean cake powder and inorganic salt as culture medium, after deep culture, the fermentation broth was prepared by alcohol precipitation or ammonium sulfate salting out.
it can catalyze the hydrolysis of starch to produce beer, rice wine, sauce flavor and antibiotics, and can also be used for the production of glucose, sugar and dextrin.
