Application
- Meat protein hydrolysis: production of meat flavors.
- Yeast extract: improvement in production efficiency and yield.
- Collagen extraction: for example, from fish scale or fish skin.
- Feed and pet food: ease of production process, efficiency improvement, more aroma, and production of phagostimulant.
- Chondroitin sulfate extraction: efficient hydrolysis of raw material to liberate chondroitin sulfate.
- Medical equipment cleaning: efficient hydrolysis of blood protein to help cleaning.
Dosage: Due to its wide applications, a dosage range of 0.1‰-10‰ is suggested. The dosage has to be optimized based on each application, the raw material specifications, product expectation, and processing parameters. It is better to begin the test with the convenient volume.
Safe Handling Precautions
Enzyme preparations are proteins that may induce sensitization and cause allergic type of symptoms in susceptible individuals. Prolonged contact may cause minor irritation for skin, eyes, or nasal mucosa. Any direct contact with the human body should be avoided. If irritation or allergic response for skin or eyes develops, please consult a doctor.
