Anthem offers a range of high-quality functional enzymes designed to support digestive health and various industrial applications. These enzymes are developed using advanced technology to ensure efficacy, stability and compliance with global regulatory standards.

Function

  • Breaks down fats in food during digestion
  • Essential for fat metabolism and absorption of fat-soluble vitamins

Indications

  • Irritable bowel syndrome

  • Cystic fibrosis

  • Celiac disease

Benefits

  • Improves nutrient absorption
  • Helps maintain cholesterol levels and cardiovascular health

Lipase

Lipase is an enzyme that breaks down triglycerides into free fatty acids and glycerol, playing a crucial role in fat digestion and metabolism.

Mechanism of Action

  • Hydrolyzes 1-6 non-reducing galactocide residues from poly and oligosaccharides

Applications

  • Reduces intestinal gas
  • Aids in digestion of complex carbohydrates
  • Helps manage Fabry’s disease

Alpha Galactosidase

Alpha galactosidase is derived from Aspergillus niger and helps break down complex sugars found in legumes and certain vegetables.

Applications

  • Used in sorghum brewing to ensure adequate levels of free alpha amino nitrogen in wort

  • Improves malting, fermentation and clarification in brewing processes

Dosage

  • Typically 0.2-0.3 kg/ton sorghum in brewing applications

Protease

Protease is a complex proteolytic enzyme system derived from selected bacterial strains.

Applications

  • Food and starch industries

  • Paper and pulp industry

  • Textile industry

Medical Applications

  • Potential target for diabetes type 2 treatment

Bacterial Alpha Amylase

Alpha amylase hydrolyzes alpha bonds of large, alpha-linked polysaccharides like starch and glycogen.

Therapeutic Applications

  • Digestive aid

  • Anti-inflammatory properties

  • Helps prevent malabsorption of food

Fungal Amylase

Fungal amylase is a potent enzyme complex obtained from Aspergillus oryzae, effective in breaking down carbohydrates.

Functions

  • Carbohydrate metabolism

  • Polysaccharide degradation

Benefits

  • May help with irritable bowel syndrome
  • Aids in balancing blood sugar levels
  • May help reduce food allergies

Glucoamylase

Glucoamylase, also known as alpha-glucosidase, breaks down starch and disaccharides into glucose.

Indications

  • Congenital lactase deficiency

  • Secondary lactose intolerance

Applications

  • Used in production of low-lactose or lactose-free dairy products

  • Enhances sweetness in milk products

Lactase

Lactase is produced by fermentation of Aspergillus oryzae and hydrolyzes lactose into glucose and galactose.
