Description

Glutaminase CAS NO 9001-47-2 is a hydrolytic enzyme that catalyzes the deamidation of L-glutamine to L-glutamic acid and ammonia. This enzymatic activity is critical for controlling flavor profiles, enhancing umami taste, and modifying protein functionality in various industrial processes. It is an essential biocatalyst for manufacturers in the food and beverage, pharmaceutical, and biotechnology sectors seeking natural and efficient process solutions.

Application

• Food & Beverage Processing: Used as a flavor enhancer to increase the natural umami and savory taste in soups, sauces, broths, and savory snacks by generating L-glutamic acid.
• Biopharmaceutical Manufacturing: Employed in cell culture media to control ammonia levels and optimize the growth environment for mammalian cells in the production of monoclonal antibodies and vaccines.
• Diagnostic Reagents: Serves as a key component in enzymatic assay kits for the clinical determination of glutamine and ammonia levels in biological samples.
• Protein Modification: Applied to modify the solubility, emulsifying, and foaming properties of food proteins (e.g., soy, wheat) through controlled deamidation.
• Biocatalyst & Research: Utilized in biochemical research and as a specialized biocatalyst in synthetic pathways for the production of fine chemicals and pharmaceutical intermediates.
