Maltogenic Amylase (Diazyme MA)

Maltogenic Amylase (Diazyme MA)

Maltogenic Amylase (Diazyme MA) is a specialized enzyme preparation used in the brewing industry to modify starch and dextrin fractions during wort production and fermentation. It helps improve carbohydrate breakdown, enhance fermentability and support consistent beer quality.

Uses & Applications

Diazyme MA is primarily used in brewing and beverage applications, where controlled enzymatic modification of starch-derived carbohydrates is required. It can be incorporated into brewing processes to:

• Improve wort fermentability and attenuation
• Modify dextrins and other starch-derived carbohydrates
• Support consistent fermentation performance
• Assist in managing beer body and mouthfeel
• Improve processing characteristics
• Support beer quality and storage stability
• Enhance the utilization of starch-containing raw materials and adjuncts
• It may be particularly useful in formulations where a controlled carbohydrate profile and improved fermentation performance are required.

Benefits

• Supports efficient starch and dextrin modification
• Helps increase fermentable carbohydrate availability
• Promotes consistent fermentation and attenuation
• Can assist in improving processing efficiency
• Helps maintain consistent beer characteristics
• Suitable for use in modern brewing processes

Application

The recommended dosage and point of addition depend on the brewing process, raw materials, target attenuation and desired product characteristics. Dosage should therefore be determined according to the manufacturer’s technical specifications and application guidelines.

Before commercial production, brewers should conduct trials to establish the optimum dosage and processing conditions for their specific recipe and equipment.

Storage

Store Diazyme MA in a cool, dry and well-ventilated area, protected from direct sunlight, moisture and excessive heat. Keep the original packaging tightly sealed when not in use.

Proper storage helps maintain enzyme activity and product quality throughout its recommended shelf life. Always refer to the manufacturer’s technical data sheet and SDS for specific storage temperature and shelf-life requirements.

Packaging

Packaging sizes can be supplied according to customer requirements and availability.

Handling & Safety

Handle the product in accordance with the applicable Safety Data Sheet (SDS) and technical documentation. Enzyme preparations may generate airborne dust or aerosols during handling; appropriate workplace controls and personal protective equipment should be used where necessary.

Avoid direct contact with the eyes and prolonged skin contact. Keep the product container closed when not in use.
