Actividad diastásica o amilásica. La determinación de la actividad diastásica de la harina es un índice de la cantidad de amilasas presentes en la harina. Las amilasas actúan sobre los gránulos de almidón dañado (durante la fermentación de las esponjas) y sobre los gránulos de almidón gelatinizados (durante el horneo), brindando a la levadura suficiente cantidad del azúcar fermentable (maltosa). 2, record 1, Spanish, - actividad%20de%20amilasa

Alpha amylase is an enzyme that degrades starch and thereby decreases its capacity to hold water. Bread flour with high alpha amylase activity will not take up as much water in the production of bread dough and will yield sticky unmanageable doughs. 1, record 2, English, - alpha%2Damylase%20activity
