Description

Pepsin CAS NO 9001-75-6 is a proteolytic enzyme derived from porcine gastric mucosa, essential for catalyzing the hydrolysis of peptide bonds in proteins. This high-activity enzyme is critical for ensuring efficient protein digestion and processing in both industrial and pharmaceutical applications. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, food processing, and diagnostic reagent industries for applications ranging from digestive aid formulations to protein hydrolysate production.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Manufacturing: Used as an active ingredient in digestive enzyme supplements and therapeutic preparations.
• Food & Beverage Processing: Employed in the production of protein hydrolysates, flavor enhancers, and for the clarification of beverages.
• Biochemical Research & Diagnostics: Essential for protein digestion in laboratory protocols and as a component in certain diagnostic kits.
• Leather Processing: Acts in the bating stage to remove residual proteins and soften hides.
• Dietary Supplement Formulation: Incorporated into capsules and tablets designed to support protein digestion.
• Peptide Synthesis & Biotechnology: Used for specific, controlled protein cleavage in downstream bioprocessing.
