Termamyl is an enzyme that is used industrially to degrade soluble starch into dextrins. Termamyl is an α-amylase, meaning that it catalyzes the hydrolysis of α-D-glucose polymers.[1] Termamyl's is more stable at higher temperatures, making it economically more attractive than a standard alpha-amylase.
