Widely used in the starch processing industry to break down starch into sugars, α-Amylase from Bacillus licheniformis is essential in the production of syrups, glucose, and maltodextrins. It efficiently liquefies starch at high temperatures, making it ideal for use in food manufacturing, including baking and brewing, where it improves fermentation and dough handling. In the textile industry, it aids in desizing by removing starch-based sizing agents from fabrics. It is also employed in detergents to degrade starchy stains and enhance cleaning performance. Additionally, this enzyme is used in the fuel ethanol industry to convert starch into fermentable sugars for alcohol production.
