Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.
The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Description of key information
Beta-amylase was not tested for aquatic toxicity, however, another enzyme - alpha-amylase - was chosen for read-across due to sensitivity to aquatic organisms and based on the similarity of the two enzymes both belonging to the same sub-subclass i.e. IUB 3.2.1
Invertebrates:
- The 48-h EC50 value for alpha-amylase with Daphnia magna was 2000 mg test material/L corresponding to 212 mg active enzyme protein/L.
Algae:
- Alpha-amylase was inhibitory to the growth of Desmodesmus subspicatus at concentrations in excess of 12.5 mg/L corresponding to 1.3 mg active enzyme protein (aep)/mL. The EbC50 (72h) value is 24 mg/L and the ErC50 (24-72h) is 49 mg/L corresponding to 2.5 and 5.2 mg aep/L, respectively.
Due to the similarity between enzymes, similar results are
expected for beta-amylase.
Additional information
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
