An enzyme which breaks down starch and converts it into sugar.<\/p>\n

\n

An enzyme that hydrolyzes starch in barley grain to produce maltose during the malting process. It has been used to aid the digestion of starch in some digestive disorders.<\/p>\n

\n

A mixture of enzymes obtained from malt. These enzymes have the property of converting starch into sugar. Diastase is used in the preparation of predigested starchy foods, and in the treatment of dyspepsia, particularly that due to inability to digest starch adequately. It is also used for the conversion of starch to fermentable sugars in the brewing and fermentation industries.<\/p>\n

\n

A specific enzyme in plant cells, such as sprouting grains and malt, that converts starch into sugar.<\/p>\n

\n

An enzyme present in both saliva and intestinal fluids that initially transforms starch into maltose and subsequently into dextrose.<\/p>\n
