Protease Enzyme

Alkaline Protease

The Alkaline Protease is a solid enzyme produced by submerged fermentation from Bacillus licheniformis. It is widely applied in detergent, leather depilation and softening, silk degumming, Heparin Sodium, Chondroitin and etc.

Definition of Activity

One gram of solid Alkaline Protease powder at 40°C and pH 10.5 hydrolyze casein in one minute to produce 1μg tyrosine is defined as one enzyme activity unit and marked with u/g.

Characteristics

• Alkaline Protease can efficiently hydrolyze the protein into free amino acids.
• Effective temperature: 20-65°C Effective pH: 8-12
• Optimum temperature: 40-50°C Optimum pH: 9-11

Application 

• Meat flavor: good flavour, palatedfullness, no bitterness.
• Bone protein and chondroitin processing: avoiding the harmful by-products brings from pH-shifting hydrolysis.
• Collagen: moderately hydrolyzedfish the collagen of skin&scales or pork gelatin,  produce 1000-3000 molecular weight collagen, non-bitter, slightly sweet.
• Washing industry: strong decontamination, sterilization and disinfection, safe, adding protease in detergents can be helpful to remove the dirty,sweat,blood easily.
• Feed processing: improve feed efficiency , reduce costs, increase appetite, promote animal growth
• Textile Industry: The tensile degrees of The enzyme-treated wool is higher than the conventional methods treated one, soft ,zero shrinkage; also can be used for silkworm degumming and silk refining.
