Description

Paca Protein CAS NO 146811-40-7 is a specialized protein isolate derived from the Paca (Cuniculus paca), a rodent native to Central and South America, valued for its unique amino acid profile and functional properties. This product is significant for its high biological value and potential applications in advanced nutritional and biomedical research. It is primarily needed by manufacturers in the nutraceutical, cosmeceutical, and life science research sectors seeking novel protein sources for product development and scientific studies.

Application

• Nutraceutical Formulations: As a high-quality protein source in dietary supplements, sports nutrition products, and medical nutrition for specialized diets.
• Biomedical Research: Used as a substrate or reagent in biochemical assays, cell culture media research, and studies involving protein interactions.
• Cosmeceutical Products: Incorporated into skincare formulations for its potential moisturizing and skin-repair properties.
• Food Science R&D: Investigated for its functional properties, such as emulsification, foaming, or gelling, in novel food product development.
• Enzymatic Studies: Serves as a substrate for proteolytic enzymes in industrial or diagnostic enzyme characterization.
• Veterinary Nutrition: Potential use in high-value, specialized feed formulations for exotic pets or zoo animals.
