What Is the Function of Amylase?

Amylase is a general term for enzymes that hydrolyze starch and glycogen. Generally, amylase is used to catalyze the hydrolysis of starch slurry on fabrics. Due to the high efficiency and specificity of amylase, the desizing rate of enzyme desizing is high and desizing is fast. Less pollution, the product is softer than the acid method and alkaline method, and does not damage the fiber. There are many types of amylases. According to different fabrics, different equipment combinations, and different technological processes, the desizing methods currently used include dipping method, stacking method, volume dyeing method, continuous washing, etc., because the mechanical action of desizing enzyme is small, The amount of water is small, and the desizing effect can be achieved under low temperature conditions, which has distinctive environmental protection characteristics.

Used for starch decomposition and filtration speed improvement in fruit juice processing, vegetable processing, syrup manufacturing,

Amylase causes dry lips

Some people like to lick with their tongues in order to moisturize their lips. In fact, this is a bad bad habit, because licking the lips can only bring a short period of moisture. When the moisture in these lips evaporates, it will take away more moisture inside the lips. Make your lips fall into the vicious cycle of "dry-lick-dryer-lick", the result is that the more you lick, the more pain, the more you lick, the more you crack. At the same time, saliva contains substances such as amylase. When the wind blows, the water evaporates, which takes away the heat and makes the temperature of the lips lower. The amylase sticks to the lips, causing the contraction of deep connective tissue and wrinkling of the lip mucosa. Dry more. In severe cases, infection and swelling can cause pain.
