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<ref name="book"/>. Dextrin, which is a viscosity improver, filler, or ingredient of food, is manufactured by the liquefaction of starch by bacteria α-amylase<ref name="book"/>. Bacterial α-amylases of ''B.subtilis'', or ''B.licheniformis'' are used for the initial starch liquefaction in producing high conversion glucose syrup<ref name="book"/>. 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.
