    Amylase… It’s an enzyme that breaks starch into sugar. Without it the oat milk will probably be pretty thick or even kind of slimy

    oh wow that’s a good hint! Whenever i tried making oat milk myself yet it ended up either slimy or otherwise to watery.

    I wonder why i have never seen it as an ingredient in commercial plant milk yet.

      You don’t necessarily need to declare enzymes in food manufacturing. They are consumed/used/deactivated before the final product. They would be listed as “processing aids” in the process description, just like pH adjustment chemicals, activated carbon treatment, antifoamer, etc.
