Determination of α-amylase activity in cereals using eS-Test amylase.Peer-reviewed article

J. ZEMEK, V. HOMOĽOVÁ

The results proved that the determination of α-amylase activity using eS-Test Amylase permits a standard, simple and correct procedure applicable in plant laboratories equipped with spectrophotometers with the detection above UV spectrum. The procedure for the determination of α-amylase activity in wheat is the same as in any other biotechnologicaly significant hydrolytic enzymes published in articles (23-29). This fact shows the advantage of the described method from the standpoint of a standardization of methods used for the determination of enzyme activities.
