| Description | Starch hydrolases include α-amylase (α-AL, EC 3.2.1.1) and β-amylase (β-AL). α-Amylase randomly catalyzes the hydrolysis of α-1,4-glycosidic bonds in starch, producing reducing sugars such as glucose, maltose, maltotriose, and dextrins, while simultaneously Starch hydrolases include α-amylase (α-AL, EC 3.2.1.1) and β-amylase (β-AL). α-Amylase randomly catalyzes the hydrolysis of α-1,4-glycosidic bonds in starch, producing reducing sugars such as glucose, maltose, maltotriose, and dextrins, while simultaneously reducing the viscosity of starch, hence it is also known as the liquefying enzyme. α-Amylase is widely distributed, from microorganisms to higher plants. Detection Principle: Starch hydrolases catalyze the hydrolysis of starch to produce reducing sugars. These reducing sugars reduce 3,5-dinitrosalicylic acid (DNS) to produce a brown-red-colored compound with an absorption peak at 540 nm. The amylase activity is calculated by measuring the rate of increase in absorbance at 540 nm. α-Amylase is heat-stable, but β-amylase can be inactivated by heating at 70°C for 15 minutes. Therefore, after the crude enzyme extract is treated at 70°C for 15 minutes, only α-amylase can catalyze starch hydrolysis. Detection Range: 0.0156 - 1 mg/mL Sensitivity: 0.0078 mg/mL Applicable Samples: Saliva, animal tissues, plant tissues (seeds or newly germinated seedlings) Note: The detection range and sensitivity are based on the standard. The actual detection range and sensitivity for activity need to be calculated according to the sample conditions.G1501772Component96TStorageG1501772ADNS Reagent40 mL2-8℃.

Add 1 mL of deionized water and homogenize. Transfer the homogenate to a centrifuge tube. Let it stand at room temperature for 15 minutes, vortexing every 5 minutes for sufficient extraction. Centrifuge at 6,000 g for 10 minutes at room temperature. Aspirate the supernatant and dilute to 10 mL with deionized water. Mix well. This is the amylase stock solution.3.2 Plant TissueWeigh approximately 0.1 g of tissue. Add 1 mL of deionized water and grind.

Calculate ΔA test = A test - A control ; ΔA standard = A standard - A blank. Note: Each sample requires a control tube. The blank tube only needs to be prepared once. It is recommended to perform a preliminary test with 2-3 samples expected to have significant differences before the formal experiment. If A test > 2, the enzyme activity is too high, and the sample must be diluted with deionized water to an appropriate concentration (multiply by the dilution factor in the calculation). If ΔA test < 0.005, re-extract the sample reducing the final volume of deionized water used for dilution.5.
