Protease enzyme for protein hydrolysis for ethanol production Sunson PRN50
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The neutral protease is produced by submerged fermentation of Bacillus subtilis followed by purification and formulation. The product has been widely used in alcohol fermentation to degrade proteins in raw materials.
MECHANISM
The Neutral Protease catalyzes the hydrolysis of protein to produce free amino acids and short peptides within a pH range from weak acid to weak alkaline environment. Besides the main activity of endo-peptidase, the product also contains exo-peptidase, whose joint actions leads to liberation of short peptides and free amino acids.

APPLICATION RECOMMENDATION
The recommended dosage is 0.05-3kg of the enzyme preparation per ton of total raw materials. The dosage has to be optimized based on each application, the raw material specifications, product expectation and processing parameters. It is better to begin the test with the convenient volume.
SAFE HANDLING PRECAUTIONS
Enzyme preparations are proteins that may induce sensitization and cause allergic type of symptoms in susceptible individuals. Prolonged contact may cause minor irritation for skin, eyes or nasal mucosa. Any direct contact with human body should be avoided. If irritation or allergic response for skin or eyes develops, please consult a doctor.
