Food grade alcalase powder for protein hydrolysis

 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The product is produced by submerged fermentation of Bacillus licheniformis followed by purification and formulation. It can effectively hydrolyze proteins within broad range of temperature and pH. It has found wide applications in the field of food industry, medical treatment segment, detergent industry, vegetable and animal protein hydrolysis, chondroitin sulfate extraction, brewing, leather processing, and so on.

 

MECHANISM

Alcalase, a serine-type endopeptidase, hydrolyzes protein very efficiently to produce peptides or amino acids.

 

APPLICATIONS

l  Meat protein hydrolysis: production of meat flavors;

l  Yeast extract: improvement in production efficiency and yield;

l  Collagen extraction: for example, from fish scale or fish skin;

l  Feed and pet food: ease of production process, efficiency improvement, more aroma, and production of phagostimulant;

l  Chondroitin sulfate extraction: efficient hydrolysis of raw material to liberate chondroitin sulfate；

l  Medical equipment cleaning: efficient hydrolysis of blood protein to help cleaning.

APPLICATION RECOMMENDATION

Due to its wide applications, A dosage range of 0.1‰-10‰ is suggested. 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.

 

WARNINGS

Keep sealed after use every time to avoid microbial infections and inactivation of enzymes until its finish.
