Sažetak
Amylase are group of enzymes wich cleavage starch into smaller molecules, up to glucose. Today, amylases are of great significance in biotechnology, with applications ranging from food, fermentation, detergent, and textiles to paper industries [1, 2] and in synthetic chemistry, accounting approximately 25% of the enzyme market [3]. The difficulties in determining amylolytic activity are reflected by the variety of analytical procedures that have been developed. Two of the most frequently used procedures for the determination of α‐amylase activity are the amyloclastic [4] and saccharogenic [5] methods. The first method is based on a starch‐iodine reaction and the second on the formation of reducing sugars, measured as maltose or glucose equivalents.
