Abstract

?-amylases have potential application in a wide number of industrial processes. They can be obtained from several sources, such as plants, animals and microorganisms. The results of the present study indicate that the amylases from different origin showed different pH and temperature optima. The microbial amylases were more susceptible to increased salt and sucrose concentrations. Ascorbic acid had minimum effect on microbial amylases where as the little millet amylase showed increase in activity. Sodium propionate inhibited the activity of the microbial amylases to the maximum extent.
