Amylase and the Alpha-Gal Friendly Diet

Amylase is a type of enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of starch into sugars. It is naturally present in human saliva and the pancreas, aiding in digestion. Industrially, amylase is used in the food industry to improve texture and shelf life of baked goods, and it can be derived from both plant and animal sources.
