Description

Proteinase N is a high-purity, non-specific proteolytic enzyme preparation derived from microbial fermentation. This versatile biocatalyst is essential for hydrolyzing proteins into peptides and amino acids across a wide range of industrial processes. It is a critical component for manufacturers in the food processing, biotechnology, and pharmaceutical sectors seeking efficient and controlled protein digestion.

Application

• Food Industry: Used for protein hydrolysis to produce savory flavors (HVP), meat tenderization, and in the processing of soy products and baked goods.
• Biotechnology & Research: Employed for cell lysis, protein digestion in proteomics, and the preparation of protein hydrolysates for cell culture media.
• Pharmaceutical Processing: Applied in the downstream processing of biological products and in the manufacture of digestive aids.
• Leather & Textile Processing: Facilitates dehairing in leather production and acts as a bio-polishing agent for textiles.
• Detergent Formulation: Serves as a key enzymatic component in laundry and dishwashing detergents for breaking down protein-based stains.
• Waste Treatment: Aids in the biodegradation of proteinaceous waste materials in environmental management applications.

Quality Control

Our Proteinase N is produced under a rigorous quality management system. Each batch is tested to ensure consistent activity, purity, and performance. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters such as enzymatic activity, microbial limits, and physical specifications are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

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 product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure the container is sealed tightly after each use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect activity.
