Description

Lysozyme is a naturally occurring enzyme, also known as muramidase, which functions as a potent antimicrobial agent by catalyzing the hydrolysis of 1,4-β-linkages in bacterial cell walls. This product is essential for applications requiring a natural preservative or antibacterial component, offering a clean-label alternative to synthetic chemicals. It is primarily sought by manufacturers in the food & beverage, pharmaceutical, and biotechnology industries for its efficacy and safety profile.

Application

• As a natural preservative and antibacterial agent in cheese production (e.g., to prevent late blowing caused by Clostridium tyrobutyricum).
• In pharmaceutical formulations for its anti-inflammatory and mucolytic properties.
• As a research reagent and diagnostic tool in biochemical and microbiological laboratories.
• In personal care and cosmetic products for its skin-conditioning and antimicrobial benefits.
• For the extraction and isolation of bacterial protoplasts in cell biology studies.
• As a model protein in enzymology and protein chemistry research.

Quality Control

Our Lysozyme is produced and tested under strict quality management systems. We offer grades suitable for food, pharmaceutical, and research applications, with specifications that can meet FCC (Food Chemicals Codex) and other relevant purity standards. Each batch is accompanied by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, activity, and microbiological data, ensuring full traceability and compliance for your specific application needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at 2-8°C for long-term stability. This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure the container is kept tightly sealed in a low-humidity environment to prevent absorption of water and loss of activity.
