Amylase 50,000 SKB/gram 155 grams of Powder

Fungal Amylase 50,000 SKG/g refers to a high-potency form of amylase enzyme derived from fungi (commonly Aspergillus oryzae or Aspergillus niger) with an activity of 50,000 SKG units per gram.

What This Means:

SKG Unit Definition:

• SKG = Sandstedt-Kneen-Blish-Gottfred unit (a standard unit for amylase activity)

• It measures how much starch an enzyme can hydrolyze under specific conditions.

• Higher SKG = more enzymatic activity per gram

So, 50,000 SKG/g means 1 gram of this enzyme preparation can break down 50,000 SKG units' worth of starch under standard test conditions.

Key Features of Fungal Amylase:

Common Uses:

1. Digestive enzyme supplements

   • Helps digest starchy foods (e.g., bread, pasta, potatoes)

   • Reduces bloating and gas in people with starch intolerance

2. Food industry applications

   • Pre-digestion of flour (baking)

   • Conversion of starch into fermentable sugars (brewing, syrup production)

3. Vegetarian enzyme blends

   • Fungal amylase is often used as a plant-based alternative to pancreatic amylase

Safety & Notes:

• Considered safe and effective in proper doses

• GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) by FDA

• Overuse may cause too-rapid carbohydrate digestion, leading to blood sugar spikes in sensitive individuals
