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 available in liquid or powder form, with a storage requirement of 2–8°C. Handling requires caution—it carries a **Danger** signal word due to potential respiratory and skin irritation. Molekula supplies alpha-Amylase from research to bulk quantities with full documentation and ISO 9001:2015 traceability.
