Description

Proteinase, Aspergillus Oryzae Neutral is a proteolytic enzyme preparation derived from the controlled fermentation of Aspergillus oryzae. This neutral protease is essential for hydrolyzing proteins under mild pH conditions, offering a versatile and efficient biocatalytic solution. It is a critical processing aid for industries requiring controlled protein modification, including food & beverage manufacturing, brewing, animal feed, and leather processing.

Application

• Food & Beverage Processing: Used for protein hydrolysis in soy sauce production, flavor enhancement, dough conditioning in baking, and chill-proofing of beer.
• Animal Feed Additive: Enhances protein digestibility and nutrient availability in feed formulations, improving feed conversion ratios.
• Leather & Textile Industry: Facilitates dehairing and bating in leather processing and aids in the bio-polishing of textiles.
• Biotechnology & Research: Employed in protein digestion for peptide mapping, cell culture applications, and diagnostic reagent manufacturing.
• Detergent Formulations: Acts as a key enzyme in laundry and dishwashing detergents for breaking down protein-based stains.
• Waste Treatment: Assists in the biodegradation of proteinaceous waste materials in environmental management processes.

Quality Control

Our Proteinase, Aspergillus Oryzae Neutral is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch is tested for key parameters including enzymatic activity, microbial limits, and heavy metals to ensure it meets the specifications required for its intended application. Certificates of Analysis (COA) confirming compliance with relevant standards such as Food Chemicals Codex (FCC) and GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) status are available upon request.

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 moisture absorption and loss of activity. Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong oxidizing agents.
