Product type
Proteases are enzymes that catalyze the breakdown of proteins into smaller peptides or amino acids. They are typically derived from plant, animal, or microbial sources and function by hydrolyzing peptide bonds in proteins. In food processing, proteases are commonly used to enhance flavor, improve texture, and facilitate the digestion of proteins in various food products.
| Source | Animal, plant, or microbial |
| Activity level | Measured in units per gram or liter |
| pH range | Typically 4.0 to 9.0 |
| Temperature stability | Effective at temperatures from 30°C to 70°C |
| Form | Powder, liquid, or granule |
When selecting proteases, buyers should consider the source of the enzyme, as this can affect its activity and suitability for specific applications. It's important to specify the desired activity level, pH stability, and temperature range for optimal performance. Additionally, inquire about certifications such as food safety standards and allergen information, as well as the required quantities for production needs.
