Dextrozyme E
Description
Dextrozyme E is a balanced mixture of glucoamylase produced by a genetically
modified strain of Aspergillus niger, and pullulanase produced by a genetically
modified strain of Bacillus. The enzyme mixture hydrolyzes 1,4- as well as 1,6-
alpha-linkages in liquefied starch.
In comparison with regular glucoamylases, Dextrozyme E gives a much faster
hydrolysis of the 1,6-alpha-linkages in the amylopectin part of starch.

Product Properties

Appearance
Dextrozyme E is an amber liquid with a density of approx. 1.20 g/ml.

Food-grade status
The product complies with FAO/WHO JECFA and FCC recommended purity
specifications.

Standard Packaging
See the standard Packaging List for more packaging information.

Application
Dextrozyme E is used in the starch syrup industry for the saccharification of
liquefied starch (maltodextrins) in the production of high dextrose syrups.
Due to the balanced mixture of glucoamylase and pullulanase in Dextrozyme E,
it is possible to achieve higher glucose yield and lower isomaltose formation in
saccharification compared with ordinary glucoamylases.
Saccharification of liquefied starch is carried out batchwise or continuously at
60-63C (140-145F) and pH 4.1-4.5, with a total holding time of 40-100
hours.

Safety
Enzymes are proteins and inhalation of dust or aerosols may induce
sensitization and may cause allergic reactions in sensitized individuals.
Some enzymes may irritate the skin, eyes and mucous membranes upon
prolonged contact.
 The product may create easily inhaled aerosols if splashed or vigorously stirred.
Spilled product may dry out and create dust.
Spilled material should be flushed away with water (avoid splashing). Left-over
material may dry out and create dust.
A Material Safety Data Sheet is supplied with all products. See the Safety
Manual for further information regarding how to handle the product safely.

Storage
Enzymes gradually lose activity over time depending on storage temperature.
Cool conditions are recommended.
When stored at 5C (41F), the product will maintain its declared activity for
6 months.
When stored at 25C (77F), the product will maintain its declared activity
for 3 months.
Extended storage and/or adverse conditions, including higher temperature,
may lead to higher dosa ge requirements.
