Protease

Applications
Used across brewing, distilling and juice processing for protein hydrolysis, chill-haze prevention, improved clarification and faster filtration in beer, fruit mashes and wine. In food manufacturing, neutral and alkaline protease enzyme powders support protein hydrolysate production, flavor development and yield improvement in soy, dairy and plant protein systems. Feed-grade protease improves digestibility and feed conversion in livestock and aquaculture formulations. Industrial grades are applied in leather bating and dehairing, detergent protein stain removal, tobacco leaf treatment and wool anti-felting processes where controlled protein breakdown reduces processing time and chemical load.

Specifications & Industrial Use
Products include acid protease (CAS 9025-49-4), alkaline protease (CAS 9014-01-1), neutral protease (CAS 9040-76-0, 232-642-4) and related endoproteases derived from Aspergillus niger, Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus licheniformis via submerged fermentation. Standard offerings cover powder activities from 100,000 U/g to 400,000 U/g and liquid grades up to 150,000 U/mL, supplied as food grade and feed grade preparations. Formats and pack sizes are suitable for pilot trials through full-scale production, with stable formulations designed for controlled dosing in continuous or batch processing environments.
