Short example sentences

Other amylase enzymes may convert starch to glucose or to oligosaccharides. (11 words)

Amylase, also secreted by the pancreas, breaks down starch (amylum) and other carbohydrates. (13 words)

The standard malting process is modified to maximise the maltose or sugar content but minimise residual alpha amylase content. (19 words)

Longer example sentences

A rest closer to the higher end of the range favours α-amylase enzymes, creating more higher-order sugars and dextrins which are less fermentable by the yeast, so a fuller-bodied beer with less alcohol is the result. (39 words)

Amyloytic enzymes such as amylase aid in the breakdown of starch in the grains to sugar and dextrin, citation while proteolytic enzymes such as protease catalyze the breakdown of proteins into smaller peptides or amino acids. (36 words)

Bacillus amyloliquefaciens is the source of a natural antibiotic protein barnase (a ribonuclease ), alpha amylase used in starch hydrolysis, the protease subtilisin used with detergents, and the BamH1 restriction enzyme used in DNA research. (34 words)

Example sentences (10)

Individuals from populations with a high-starch diet tend to have more amylase genes than those with low-starch diets; citation Beta-amylase cuts starch into maltose units.
