Purification and Interaction of β-amylase from Dioscorea alata (Water Yam) with Epicatechin

M. A. Fadunsin, O. A. T. Ebuehi, I. S. Akande & A. O. Kolawole · International Journal of Biochemistry Research & Review · 2021

β-amylase is an enzyme that hydrolyzes the α-1,4-glucan bonds from the non-reducing ends of starch and other carbohydrate polymers reducing it to maltose units. Maltose has much application with food processing and pharmaceutical industries. The enzyme was purified to apparent ho...
