Enzyme produced by the salivary glands and pancreas that breaks down carbohydrates.
A group of enzymes (alpha amylase, beta amylase) present in most malted grains which are responsible for converting starches in the grain into both fermentable and unfermentable sugars. Each enzyme has a specific temperature range in which it is most active. The allgrain brewer steps her mash through a series of temperature rests in order to activate these and other enzymes.
IS AN ENZYME WHICH BREAKS DOWN COMPLEX SUGARS (NONFERMENTABLE STARCHES) INTO SIMPLE ONES WHICH ARE FERMENTABLE.
(n) a digestive enzyme secreted in the saliva and pancreatic juices that aids the breakdown of starch, also called ptyalin. (See enzymes.)
an enzyme produced by the salivary glands and the pancreas that helps break down food. An abnormal increase in serum amylase levels may indicate inflammation of the pancreas (pancreatitis).
An hydrolytic enzyme that digests starch into maltose. Produced in abundance by the pancreas.
(am´ ill ase) • Any of a group of enzymes that digest starch.
an enzyme that breaks starch down into glycogen and other glucans.
An enzyme produced in the pancreas and salivary glands that speeds up the splitting of starch and glycogen to more absorbable components. High blood levels of amylase are common in conditions such as pancreatitis, but can occur for other reasons.
Enzymes that liquefy starches and convert them to maltose (sugar) and dextrins.
Salivary and pancreatic enzymes that hydrolyse 14 glycosidic bonds of the polysaccharide chains of starches to monosaccharide sugars.
Enzymes that naturally occurs in barley malt that break down starches and convert them to dextrins and sugars.
Enzyme produced in the pancreas and salivary glands that helps in the digestion of starches from the diet. Blood amylase levels may be increased in patients who have pancreatitis.
any of a group of proteins found in saliva and pancreatic juice and parts of plants; help convert starch to sugar
digests starches
Plant based enzyme essential for the digestion of carbohydrates, the production of energy and the assimilation of fatty acids.
An enzyme found in saliva that breaks down starch into simple sugars.
Enzyme that breaks down or hydrolyzes starch.
The digestive enzyme needed to digest starches (complex carbohydrates). This enzyme is produced by the pancreas.
Enzyme secreted by the salivary glands and pancreas to break down starches.
enzyme that breaks down starches; found in saliva, pancreatic juice, and gastric juice
A pancreatic enzyme. High levels in the blood may indicate pancreatic damage.
An enzyme that breaks down complex carbohydrates such as starch.
an enzyme involved in food digestion that breaks down amylose (a form of starch).
A substance produced by the pancreas when it is inflamed that can be measured in the blood. After a pancreas transplant, if connected to the bladder, amylase can be measured in the urine.
An enzyme that helps the body break down specific parts of starchy carbohydrates from vegetables, like potatoes and grains.
Any enzyme that breaks the bonds that hold starch molecules together.
an enzyme that converts starch to sugar. High levels in a lab test indicate pancreatitis is a possibility.
A starch-digesting enzyne.
An enzyme that digests starch, removing the residue of starchy foods.
An enzyme that breaks the interior bonds of large carbohydrates (starches), reducing them to smaller disaccharides. Comments: Learn about enzyme supplements from the Enzyme Experts.
A pancreatic enzyme that digests carbohydrates.
enzyme found in saliva and in the pancreatic juice and that acts on starch and other substances contained in the food we eat
An enzyme produced in the pancreas and salivary glands that helps in the digestion of starches. Elevation of blood amylase is common in pancreatitis . See the entire definition of Amylase
This is an enzyme. It is found in saliva. It breaks starch down into maltose.
The enzyme that converts starch into maltose in the mash tun.
Amylase helps your body break down and assimilate starches and carbohydrates. Supplemental amylase can also help reduce stress.
An enzyme involved in intra-oral digestion.
An enzyme group that converts starches to sugars, consisting primarily of alpha and beta amylase. Also referred to as the diastatic enzymes.
An enzyme that breaks down polysaccharides; produced by the salivary glands and pancreas.
Amylase is an enzyme secreted by salivary glands and the pancreas to aid digestion of food. An increase in amylase serum levels may indicate pancreatitis, a rare but life-threatening consequence of several antiviral drugs and infections.

A digestive enzyme produced largely by the pancreas and salivary glands that converts starches to sugars. Abnormally high levels of amylase in the blood or urine may be found in patients with inflammation of the pancreas or salivary glands (mumps).
A naturally occurring pancreatic enzyme. The flow of these enzymes into the digestive system usually is blocked in CF patients, resulting in the need for pancreatic enzyme supplements.
A pancreatic digestive enzyme. Elevated in pancreatitis, or with injury to the bowel.
An enzyme that helps the body digest starches
A digestive enzyme made by the pancreas and salivary glands.
Amylase is the name given to glycoside hydrolase enzymes that break down starch. Although the amylases are designated by different Greek letters, they all act on α-1,4-glucosidic bonds.
