What Is Protease Enzyme?

Protease (EC 3.4) is an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of proteins into peptides and amino acids. It is the most widely used industrial enzyme class, essential for detergent formulation, meat tenderizing, leather processing, protein hydrolysate production, and pharmaceutical manufacturing.

Protein Hydrolysis

Protease cleaves peptide bonds in proteins, breaking them into smaller peptides and free amino acids. Used for protein modification, tenderization, and hydrolysate production.

Multiple Specificity Types

Available as acid protease (pH 2-5), neutral protease (pH 6-8), and alkaline protease (pH 8-12). Each type targets different applications and substrate conditions.

Replaces Harsh Chemicals

Substitutes for caustic soda in leather dehairing, replaces chemical tenderizers in meat processing, and reduces surfactant load in detergent formulations.

Protease Applications & Industries

Protease is the single most widely used enzyme in industry, with applications spanning food, chemical, pharmaceutical, and consumer products.

Detergent & Cleaning

Alkaline protease removes protein-based stains (blood, grass, egg, sweat) from fabrics. The most important enzyme class in modern laundry detergent formulations.

Food & Meat Processing

Meat tenderization, protein hydrolysate production, cheese making (rennet substitute), soy sauce fermentation, and baking improvement.

Leather Processing

Enzymatic dehairing, bating, and soaking of hides. Protease replaces toxic lime-sulfide chemistry, reducing pollution and improving leather quality.

Pharmaceutical & Biotech

Production of bioactive peptides, collagen hydrolysates, and pharmaceutical-grade amino acids. Used in wound care products and digestive enzyme supplements.

Frequently Asked Questions

Protease is used in detergent manufacturing (stain removal), food processing (meat tenderization, cheese making, protein hydrolysates), leather processing (dehairing and bating), pharmaceutical production (bioactive peptides), brewing (chill-proofing beer), and animal feed (protein digestibility improvement).
Acid protease operates at pH 2 to 5 and is used in food processing and silage. Neutral protease works at pH 6 to 8 and is used in leather processing, meat, and brewing. Alkaline protease functions at pH 8 to 12 and is the primary enzyme in laundry detergents and industrial cleaning.
Alkaline protease (also called subtilisin) is the standard choice for detergent formulation. It operates at the high pH of wash water (pH 8-11) and targets protein stains like blood, grass, egg, and body soil. We offer multiple alkaline protease grades optimized for liquid and powder detergents.
Temperature range varies by type. Acid protease: 40 to 55 degrees C. Neutral protease: 45 to 55 degrees C. Alkaline protease: 40 to 60 degrees C. Thermostable variants are available for high-temperature industrial processes.
Our minimum order quantity is 1 kg per product. Suitable for R&D trials, formulation testing, or pilot production. Volume pricing available for 25 kg and above.
Yes. We ship to 180+ countries via DHL, FedEx, and USPS with full tracking. Protease is classified as a non-hazardous enzyme product. Typical delivery is 5 to 10 business days.
