Industrial-Grade Seaweed Hydrolysis Enzyme
Seaweed Hydrolysis Enzyme (Industrial Grade) is a specialized solid enzyme preparation developed for seaweed enzymatic hydrolysis applications. It is designed to accelerate the breakdown of seaweed structural components and improve liquefaction performance, helping manufacturers enhance extraction efficiency and downstream processing. The product is mainly used in various seaweed enzymatic hydrolysis fields and is suitable for multiple seaweed raw material types and hydrolysis objectives.
Primary Use
Mainly used in various seaweed enzymatic hydrolysis fields. This product is intended for processors seeking improved seaweed liquefaction, reduced viscosity, and higher release of soluble components for downstream separation, extraction, or fermentation.
Key Applications
- Seaweed enzymatic hydrolysis and liquefaction
- Pre-treatment for seaweed extraction processes (supporting easier filtration and centrifugation)
- Viscosity reduction to improve pumping, mixing, and handling of seaweed slurries
- Improved release of soluble components for better downstream yield
- Processing and valorization of seaweed biomass and seaweed by-products
Product Highlights
- Purpose-built for seaweed processing: optimized to help break down seaweed tissue and structural components
- Improves liquefaction and process flow: reduces gel-like behavior and supports smoother processing
- Enhances extraction efficiency: promotes release of soluble fractions for improved recovery
- Industrial-grade solid preparation: convenient dosing, stable handling, and easy integration into production lines
- Broad operational compatibility: designed for common industrial hydrolysis temperature and pH ranges
Recommended Dosage
Recommended dosage: 1–3 kg per ton. Optimal dosage depends on seaweed species, solids content, particle size, hydrolysis targets, mixing efficiency, and processing time. For best results, dosage can be refined through pilot trials under your actual operating conditions.
How It Works
Seaweed biomass often contains complex structural components that contribute to high viscosity, low filtration efficiency, and reduced extraction performance. This enzyme preparation supports hydrolysis by improving the breakdown of seaweed tissue and helping convert macromolecular structures into more soluble fractions.
During enzymatic treatment, the product can support:
- Tissue disruption and liquefaction: helps open seaweed structure and reduces slurry viscosity
- Improved mass transfer: facilitates better contact between water and seaweed solids
- Enhanced soluble fraction release: improves availability of target components for extraction or fermentation
- Better downstream separations: supports improved filtration and centrifugation due to reduced gel formation
Operating Conditions
- Temperature range: 40°C–60°C
- pH range: 4.0–7.0
- Appearance: Light yellow to brown-yellow powder
- Shelf life: 12 months
Quality Indicators
- Fineness (40-mesh sieve passing rate): ≥80%
- Loss on drying: ≤8.0%
- Physical characteristics: Slight fermentation odor; no off-odor, no caking, and no mold deterioration
Usage Suggestions
The following general procedure is recommended for seaweed hydrolysis applications:
- Pre-dispersion: Disperse the enzyme powder in process water before addition to improve uniform distribution.
- Conditioning: Adjust temperature to 40–60°C and pH to 4.0–7.0 for effective enzymatic action.
- Hydrolysis time: Typical treatment time ranges from 1–4 hours depending on raw material and desired hydrolysis degree.
- Process integration: After hydrolysis, proceed with filtration, centrifugation, extraction, or fermentation as required.
Actual performance will vary depending on seaweed type, solids loading, particle size, process flow, and target output. For best results, we recommend small-scale trials to confirm optimal dosage and processing time.
