PROTEASE

Protease is an enzyme (catalyst for all biological reactions) that hydrolyzes proteins into peptides or amino acids. Enzymatic protein hydrolysis is a method used to process animal by-products or add to animal feed to increase animal performance, reduce costs and limit environmental pollution.

What is protease?

• Protease is an enzyme (catalyst for all biological reactions) that hydrolyzes proteins into peptides or amino acids.
• Proteases are naturally present in all living organisms such as microorganisms, plants, animals and humans. Currently, proteases are produced from many different animal, plant and microbial sources and depending on the source of extraction, they will have different properties and uses.
• Enzymatic protein hydrolysis is a method used to process animal by-products or supplement animal feed to increase animal productivity, reduce costs and limit environmental pollution.

Characterization of proteases

• The reaction is simple, easy to set up and has minimal side effects.
• Precise protein cleavage, producing desired peptides and amino acids.
• Easily inactivated by heat treatment after hydrolysis.
• Produces better product quality than chemical protein hydrolysis.
• The choice of enzyme depends on the protein source and the degree of hydrolysis.

Storage and shelf life

Store at cool temperature (recommended temperature 0 -25 degrees Celsius), close the package after use, avoid direct sunlight.
