A starch-degrading enzyme preparation, the Japanese Pharmacopoeia name for amylase. Made from malt, it contains α (alpha)-amylase and β (beta)-amylase, and breaks down starch into maltose and dextrin. It is widely used as a digestive enzyme preparation, and is used in combination with antacids such as stomach powder and sodium bicarbonate (sodium bicarbonate) for indigestion and loss of appetite. Takamine Jokichi's "Takadiastase" is extracted from rice koji fungus, and contains proteolytic enzymes in addition to amylase. Diastase preparations include sodium bicarbonate diastase powder, compound sodium bicarbonate diastase powder, and compound scourgette extract diastase powder.
