Acidic Xylanase (ACX) (EC 3.2.1.8) is mainly produced by microorganisms and can catalyze the hydrolysis of xylan. Also known as pentosanase or hemicellulase, it can decompose the cell walls of raw materials and β-glucan in the brewing or feed industry, reduce the viscosity of materials in brewing, promote the release of effective substances, lower non-starch polysaccharides in feed, and enhance the absorption and utilization of nutrients. Therefore, it is widely used in the brewing and feed industries. ACX is generally isolated from acid-tolerant fungi, bacteria, and some molds.

Amylopectin is a highly branched polysaccharide. The ratio and content of amylose and amylopectin in starch have a direct impact on the processing, physicochemical properties, gelatinization temperature, etc. of starch products. Therefore, the research on starches with different ratios of amylose and amylopectin is of great significance.

ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase (ADPase, AGP) (EC 2.7.7.21) is a rate-limiting enzyme for starch synthesis in plants and glycogen synthesis in microorganisms. It catalyzes the reaction in which glucose-1-phosphate reacts with ATP to form ADP-glucose (ADPG) with the release of energy. Understanding AGPase is of great value for studying starch content.

Alkaline Xylanase (BAX) (EC 3.2.1.8) is a xylanase with high enzymatic activity under alkaline conditions, and its active component is xylanase. It is mainly produced by microorganisms and can catalyze the hydrolysis of xylan. Also known as pentosanase or hemicellulase, it can decompose the cell walls of raw materials and β-glucan in the brewing or feed industry, reduce the viscosity of materials in brewing, promote the release of effective substances, reduce non-starch polysaccharides in feed, and enhance the absorption and utilization of nutrients. Therefore, it is widely used in the brewing and feed industries. BAX is generally isolated from microorganisms whose optimal growth pH is 9-11.

Amylose is a polysaccharide chain in which D-glucosyl groups are linked by α-(1,4) glycosidic bonds. The determination of its content is of great significance for evaluating the nutritional value of food and investigating sugar metabolism in plants.
