EquiNectar Ingredients & Enzymes

INGREDIENTS

Enzyme rich malt extract
Medium chain triglycerides (from coconut oil)
Potassium sorbate


NATURALLY OCCURRING ENZYMES WITHIN EQUINECTAR

CARBOHYDRASES
(convert starches to sugar)
α-Amylase converts starch and amylopectin to sugars
β-amylase converts starch to sugars eg maltose

DEBRANCHING ENZYMES
(act further to produce simple sugars eg: glucose)
α-glucosidase
transglucosylase
iso-sucrase
maltase

FRUCTANASES
(convert fructans (storage form of sugar) in grass into glucose and fructose)

PROTEASES
Convert proteins to absorbable amino acids

POLYSACCHARIDE HYDROLASES
(break down plant cell walls. (and hence fibre))
β-glucanase
Cellulase
Xylanase

PHOSPHATASES
Phytase
