SHORT DESCRIPTION

Diastase Enzyme Powder Extra Pure is a high-activity amylolytic enzyme preparation used in laboratory settings to catalyze the breakdown of starch into simpler sugars like maltose and glucose. It plays a crucial role in biochemical and enzymatic assays, fermentation studies, and educational demonstrations involving carbohydrate metabolism. This extra pure grade ensures high enzyme purity, offering reliable and reproducible results in analytical work and research. Ideal for controlled hydrolysis experiments and studies on enzyme kinetics, it should be stored in a cool, dry place to preserve its enzymatic activity and stability.
