Thermostability of the enzymes is influenced by the different parameters and pressure also influences the biological activity of the enzymes. Recently reported maltogenic a-amylase from Aspergillus niger acts optimally on starch at 40 degrees C and it was unstable above 40 degrees C at atmospheric pressure. Calcium could stabilize the maltogenic a-amylase activity up to 50 degrees C at atmospheric pressure. But, at negative pressure (-200?mbar) enzyme was stable at temperatures higher than 50 degrees C either in the presence or absence of the substrate, starch making it adoptable for starch processing. Enzyme showed higher affinity to the starch at negative pressure compared to the atmospheric pressure and change in the surface roughness of the enzyme is almost similar to the native state at 70 degrees C and negative pressure. These results suggest that thermolabile enzymes can be used at negative pressures for industrial applications.
