Amylase Enzyme (from Aspergillus oryzae) – 10g

Amylase is a biologically derived enzyme preparation supplied in a 10g pack, produced from Aspergillus oryzae. This enzyme catalyses the breakdown of starch into simpler sugars and is widely used in educational science laboratories due to its clear, observable activity and strong links to biology and chemistry curricula.

The product has a CAS Number of 9000‑90‑2 and no UN number assigned (UN: NR). Amylase typically appears as a fine, off‑white powder that dissolves readily in water to form active enzyme solutions, making it straightforward to prepare for classroom experiments.

Clearly labelled and easy to store, this enzyme is well suited to routine use in school laboratories when handled in accordance with standard laboratory safety procedures.
