MAA-1500 is a bacterial maltogenic amylase produced from submerged fermentation of selected strains of Bacillus subtilis. It is a special alpha-amylase, which hydrolyzes amylopectin to generate maltose, oligosaccharides, and small molecular dextrins, interfering the recrystallization
of starch and the entanglement of starch granules and protein macromolecules, and retards the recrystallization of starch granules, thus slow down the aging speed of bread and extend the shelf life of bread.
Benefits for baking
>> Improve the softness of baked products
>> Increase the elasticity and moistness of bread, and improve the taste
>> Help to anti-staling of starch, extend shelf life of baked products
>> Easy to use, can be directly added, easy to formulate flour
