Use Cases

Applications

Alpha-Galactosidase breaks down galacto-oligosaccharides such as raffinose and stachyose, helping improve digestibility and reduce gas-related compounds across food, supplement, and processing workflows.

1
🫘

Bean & Legume Processing

Removes raffinose and stachyose from soybeans, lentils, and chickpeas—reducing flatulence-causing oligosaccharides for more comfortable consumption.

2
💊

Beano®-Type Supplements

Used as an active ingredient in anti-gas digestive supplements—typically dosed before meals containing beans, vegetables, or grains.

3
🌱

Plant-Based Protein

Improves digestibility of legume-based protein ingredients for plant-based meat and dairy alternatives by lowering residual galacto-oligosaccharides.

4
🍞

Sourdough Fermentation

Helps reduce FODMAP content in bread during extended fermentation—supporting low-FODMAP sourdough profiles for IBS-friendly products.

5
🥫

Canned Bean Processing

Pre-treatment of beans before canning to reduce gas-causing compounds—supporting consumer-friendly canned legume products.

6
🐄

Soy Feed Processing

Removes anti-nutritional galacto-oligosaccharides from soybean meal to improve animal feed digestibility.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1 What does Alpha-Galactosidase (EC 3.2.1.22) do?

It hydrolyzes galacto-oligosaccharides—especially raffinose and stachyose—helping reduce gas-causing compounds in legumes and related formulations.

Q2 What are the recommended pH and temperature ranges?

For best results, use Alpha-Galactosidase within pH 4.0–6.5 and 40°C–55°C.

Q3 How should I interpret the activity range (1,000–50,000 GalU/g)?

The GalU/g value indicates measured enzymatic activity per gram. Higher activity products generally achieve stronger hydrolysis at the same dosage, but final dosing should be confirmed with your application trial.

Q4 Can Alpha-Galactosidase be used for low-FODMAP sourdough?

Yes. When applied during extended fermentation, it can help reduce FODMAP-associated oligosaccharides in bread to support low-FODMAP sourdough targets.

Q5 What is the shelf life and storage guidance?

Shelf life is 24 months when kept sealed in a cool, dry place. Protect from moisture exposure and follow the storage guidance provided with your COA/TDS.
