Alternative method for quantification of alfa-amylase activity Alternativa para quantificação de alfa-amilase

A modification of the sensitive agar diffusion method was developed for macro-scale determination of alfa-amylase. The proposed modifications lower costs with the utilisation of starch as substrate and agar as supporting medium. Thus, a standard curve was built using alfa-amylase solution from Asper...
