Alpha-Amylase Feed Enzyme

ART-EN-023 alpha-amylase is a dry enzyme preparation developed for starch-rich animal feed systems and related fermentation or grain-processing workflows. It is used where corn, wheat, barley, sorghum, cassava, or other cereal fractions contribute a high starch load, and where formulators need a defined amylolytic component in a complete enzyme package. The enzyme catalyzes random hydrolysis of internal alpha-1,4 linkages in amylose and amylopectin, reducing starch viscosity and producing shorter dextrins that can be further processed by companion enzymes or endogenous digestive activity.

Typical procurement specifications can include declared activity such as 10,000 to 100,000 U/g depending on grade, moisture not more than 8 percent, light tan to brown free-flowing powder, and a carrier system suitable for feed premix distribution. Particle profile is commonly controlled for uniform blending, with most material passing 40 mesh and low dust grades available for toll blending lines.

• Livestock compound feed: Included in premixes for swine, poultry, ruminant, aquaculture, and pet-food manufacturing where starch conversion, mash consistency, or pellet processing performance is part of the formulation brief.
• Feed mill processing: Used in dry premix systems, mash feeds, and selected pelleting programs. Heat tolerance depends on the ordered grade and coating system; procurement teams should specify conditioner temperature, retention time, and post-pellet recovery targets.
• Grain by-product utilization: Supports ration programs that incorporate variable cereal streams, bakery returns, screenings, bran fractions, or other starch-containing by-products requiring consistent enzyme contribution.
• Enzyme blends: Compatible with many commercial feed enzyme concepts, including xylanase, beta-glucanase, cellulase, protease, and phytase blends, subject to stability testing in the finished premix and local regulatory review.
• Fermentation and biotechnology processing: Suitable for non-sterile industrial saccharification steps where alpha-amylase activity is required before downstream processing. For food, feed, brewing, or biotechnology use, confirm activity method, pH window, temperature profile, and carrier requirements before purchase.

Store ART-EN-023 in the original sealed 25 kg multi-wall sack in a dry, shaded warehouse away from direct heat, steam lines, strong oxidants, and high humidity. Recommended storage is 5 to 25 °C for best activity retention; short ambient transit is acceptable when the product remains sealed and protected from moisture. Typical shelf life is 12 months from production under recommended conditions, with activity retest advised for inventory held beyond the stated date.

As with all concentrated enzyme powders, avoid inhalation of dust and minimize open handling. Use local exhaust ventilation, gloves, eye protection, and an appropriate particulate mask during weighing, bag dumping, and premix manufacture. Reseal partly used sacks immediately and rotate stock by first-expired, first-out practice. Bulk buyers should specify whether they require standard powder, low-dust granulate, coated thermotolerant grade, or custom activity standardization for their plant process.

ArtemisYeast supplies ART-EN-023 for inquiry-based industrial procurement with batch traceability and specification review before shipment. Standard quality checks may include enzyme activity, appearance, moisture, particle size, microbial limits appropriate to feed use, heavy metal screening where required, and conformity against the agreed purchasing specification. A certificate of analysis is available for each batch, and safety data sheet, technical data sheet, allergen statement, non-GMO statement, feed-grade declaration, Halal, Kosher, ISO 22000, FSSC 22000, or HACCP-related documentation can be provided on request where applicable to the selected grade and manufacturing site.

Regulatory status, permitted use level, and labeling language vary by destination country and animal species, so buyers should confirm local feed additive registration requirements before import or resale. ArtemisYeast can support procurement teams with document packs, retained sample coordination, and pre-shipment specification confirmation. Review our documentation approach at quality and documentation before placing recurring orders.
