Applications
Alpha-Galactosidase hydrolyzes galacto‑oligosaccharides including raffinose and stachyose, improving process efficiency and reducing anti-nutritional factors across diverse industrial workflows.
Bean & Legume Processing
Removes raffinose and stachyose from soybeans, lentils and chickpeas—reducing anti-nutritional oligosaccharides for improved quality in food manufacturing.
Beano®-Type Supplements
Used as an active ingredient in digestive aid products—integrated into formulations targeting oligosaccharide hydrolysis in plant-based raw materials.
Plant-Based Protein
Enhances processability of legume-based protein concentrates for meat and dairy alternative production by lowering residual galacto-oligosaccharide content.
Sourdough Fermentation
Applied in long fermentation bakery processing to achieve targeted reduction of galacto-oligosaccharides for specialty low-FODMAP bread ranges.
Canned Bean Processing
Pre-treatment step before canning to decrease oligosaccharide levels—supporting consistent quality in commercial legume products.
Soy Feed Processing
Removes anti-nutritional galacto‑oligosaccharides from soybean meal to improve digestibility in livestock feed manufacturing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1 What does Alpha-Galactosidase (EC 3.2.1.22) do?
It hydrolyzes galacto‑oligosaccharides such as raffinose and stachyose, reducing anti-nutritional factors in legumes and related materials.
Q2 What are the recommended pH and temperature ranges?
Optimal use is within pH 4.0–6.5 and 40°C–55°C for maximum catalytic efficiency.
Q3 How should I interpret the activity range (1,000–50,000 GalU/g)?
GalU/g indicates enzymatic activity per gram. Higher values deliver faster hydrolysis at equal dosage; confirm dosage via application-specific trials.
Q4 Can Alpha-Galactosidase be used for low-FODMAP sourdough?
Yes. Incorporated into extended fermentation processes, it can reduce galacto‑oligosaccharide levels to help achieve low-FODMAP targets in bread.
Q5 What is the shelf life and storage guidance?
Shelf life is 24 months in sealed packaging stored cool and dry. Avoid moisture exposure; follow instructions on COA/TDS.
