Product Name: Glucoamylase

Other Names: amyloglucosidase, gamma-amylase, glucan 1,4-α-glucosidase

CAS No.: 9032-08-0

Molecular Formula: not applicable

Specification: Glucoamylase is typically available as a white to light tan powder or a dark brown liquid, derived from fungal sources like Aspergillus niger or Rhizopus species, with activity levels ranging from 100,000 to 300,000 units/g for industrial or food-grade use.

Appearance and Color: white to light tan powder

Ingredient Information: Glucoamylase is an enzyme (exo-1,4-α-D-glucan glucohydrolase, EC 3.2.1.3) produced by fungal fermentation, often from Aspergillus niger or Rhizopus oryzae, consisting of a glycoprotein with a molecular weight of approximately 70-100 kDa, sometimes stabilized with carriers like maltodextrin or salts.

Uses: Glucoamylase is widely used in starch saccharification to produce glucose syrups, in brewing and distilling to break down dextrins into fermentable sugars, and in food processing to enhance sweetness; it is also applied in biofuel production to convert starches into ethanol.
