Evaluation of alpha-amylase activity and falling number for soft white and soft red wheat varieties adapted to Michigan
… epidemics were experienced in 2008 and 2009. Alpha-amylase is an important component of PHS and the falling number (FN) test is used by industry to identify sprouted wheat that is unacceptable for various food products. The objectives of this study were to evaluate wheat cultivars adapted to …

Effect of different sprouting conditions on alpha amylase activity, functional properties of wheat flour and on shelf-life of bread supplemented with sprouted wheat
… is the most important factor affecting α-amylase quantity as well as quality to modify flour functionality significantly, followed by pre-soaking duration and temperature. Sprouted wheat flour post five days germination was utilized at different rates to prepare 100 g composite breads. …

Maize alpha-amylase: purification and properties and induction by gibberellic acid
Alpha-amylase synthesis can be induced in wheat and barley half-seeds by addition of gibberellic acid (GA) to the incubation medium. In maize, induction in de-embryonated kernels by exogenous GA has been reported in some studies but not others. Alpha-amylase induction was investigated in maize by …

Isolation and Biochemical Characterization of an Alpha-Amylase From Lactobacillus Amylovorus and Sequencing of the Corresponding Gene
In this study the enzyme $\alpha$-amylase ($\alpha$-1,4-D-glucan 4-glucanohydrolase, EC 3.2.1.1) has been isolated and characterized from the extracellular media of Lactobacillus amylovorus DSM 20531. The gene coding for $\alpha$-amylase has been isolated by molecular cloning in Escherichia coli …

Evaluation of six plant species used traditionally in the treatment and control of diabetes mellitus
… to test the efficacy of different extracts on alpha amylase (carbohydrate digestive enzyme) activity, alpha glucosidase (glucose absorption) activity and islets of Langerhans insulin secretory activity. Hexane, ethyl acetate, acetone and methanol extracts were examined and screened for their …
