CAS 9000-85-5 — alpha-Amylase (Bacillus licheniformis)

Alpha-Amylase from Bacillus licheniformis is an industrial enzyme that breaks down starch into sugars, widely used in food processing (e.g., baking, brewing), textiles, and paper production. It is a thermostable enzyme (optimal activity at 60–90°C) and functions best in neutral to slightly alkaline conditions (pH 6.0–9.0). This CAS 9000-85-5 enzyme is supplied as a white to light yellow powder, with a storage requirement of 2–8°C. Handling requires caution: it carries a Danger signal word because it may cause allergy or asthma symptoms or breathing difficulties if inhaled (respiratory sensitisation, H334), and it also causes skin irritation (H315) and serious eye irritation (H319). Molekula supplies alpha-Amylase from research to bulk quantities with full documentation and ISO 9001:2015 traceability.
