Application
Diastase from Aspergillus oryzae has been used:
- to distinguish sulphomucins and sialomucins
- to discriminate acidic mucins from neutral mucins in the lingual salivary glands
- as a component of the BioVision amylase activity assay buffer solution for in vitro and ex vivo degradation assays
Biochem/physiol Actions
Diastase catalyzes the digestion of glycogen. It is useful as a reducing and stabilizing agent in the aqueous synthesis of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs).
