Enzymes permitted in animal feeds in the EC are shown in Table 4.7. Various combinations are allowed, as shown in the table. This list does not include enzymes such as alpha-galactosidase, which are marketed internationally and which may be permitted by other organic agencies. Producers wishing to use enzyme products should check with the local certifying agency for a permitted list.

Donning your safety glasses, make up two solutions of just less than a quarter of a teaspoon of cornstarch (1 milliliter) in one cup (240 milliliters) of water. Crush a tablet of a digestive aid that is meant to be taken before meals to reduce intestinal gas. These pills should contain the enzyme alpha-galactosidase, which will digest starch. Check the label to make sure. Add the crushed tablet to one of the cups of cornstarch solution. Let the glasses sit for about an hour and then add a drop of iodine tincture iodine to each. Iodine is a well-known indicator for starch because iodine forms a lovely blue-colored complex with starch. The solution without the enzyme will turn a violet-blue color, indicating the presence of starch. The solution to which the enzyme was added should remain the brown color of the iodine tincture. If there is a blue color, it will be much weaker. This demonstrates that the starch has been broken down. 

Each vial contains 37 mg of alpha-galactosidase beta as well as 222 mg of mannitol, 20.4 mg of sodium phosphate monobasic monohydrate, and 59.2 mg of sodium phosphate dibasic heptahydrate. Following reconstitution as directed, 35 mg of agalactosidase beta (7 ml) may be extracted from each vial.

Agalsidase alfa and agalsidase beta should not be given with ami-odarone, chloroquine, gentamicin, monobenzone due to a theoretical risk of inhibition of intra-cellular alpha-galactosidase activity.These enzymes are unlikely to interact via cytochrome p450-mediated mechanisms. ...
