α-Amylase is used extensively in various industrial processes. In textile weaving, starch is added for warping. After weaving, the starch is removed by ''Bacillus subtilis'' α-amylase. Dextrin, which is a viscosity improver, filler, or ingredient of food, is manufactured by the liquefaction of starch by bacteria α-amylase. Bacterial α-amylases of ''B.subtilis'', or ''B.licheniformis'' are used for the initial starch liquefaction in producing high conversion glucose syrup. Pancreatitis can be tested by determining the level of amylases in the blood, a result of damaged amylase-producing cells, or excretion due to renal failure. α-Amylase is used for the production of malt, as the enzyme is produced during the germination of cereal grains. | α-Amylase is used extensively in various industrial processes.
