Introduction
FUNGAL DIASTASE is manufactured from strains of aspergillus oryzae by fermentation, isolation and ultra filtration to give standardized product for use in the pharmaceutical and allied industries.
Industrial Fungal Diastase
Industrial Fungal Diastase has been standardized with sterile Lactulose to amylolytic activity standards of 1:1,800, 1:2,000, 1:5,000 &, 1:5,500 by the procedure outlined by the Indian Pharmocopia.
Applications
Fungal diastase is used in Pharmaceutical preparations as a constituent digestive enzyme in the treatment of digestive ailments. It can be used effectively in either a tablet form or in a stable liquid formulation of digestive aid enzyme preparation. Impaired digestion; lactose intolerance; fermentative dyspepsia; as adjuvant to antibiotic & chemotherapeutic agents; diarrhoea; constipation when normal gut flora is altered.
Fungal diastase strain provides :
(a) Alpha-amylaseÑthat accelerates starch digestion.
(b) Gluco-amylaseÑfor complete carbohydrate breakdown into glucose molecules resulting in its proper absorption and assimilation. It is also an established fact that combined action of both alpha and gluco-amylases causes the extent of hydrolysis of carbohydrate greater than that produced by alpha-amylase alone. It is also known that gluco-amylase helps to produce more amount of glucose than pancreatic amylase in the same amount of time.
(c) Other essential disaccharidases, e.g. maltase, invertase, cellulase for rapid and complete digestion of carbohydrate.
(d) Also supplies potent proteases for digesting casein, fish, meat, egg albumin and particularly lentil proteins.
Thus combination of lactic acid bacteria and digestive enzyme fungal diastase in VITAZYME CAPSULE ensures a comprehensive treatment for digestive disorders, prevents harmful effects of putrefactive organisms and stimulate host immune system.
