Pepsin

product description

Pepsin is a solid enzyme preparation extracted from animal gastric mucosa, which belongs to endopeptidase. Pepsin can hydrolyze macromolecular proteins into peptides and amino acids under acidic pH conditions.

Appearance: Light yellow solid powder.

Due to the influence of fermentation raw materials, period and other factors

sound, the color will be slightly different, but not

affect the efficacy of use.

Packing: Aluminum plastic bag, 1kg/bag.

Storage: This product is an active biological preparation, transportation, storage

During storage, it should be protected from light, low temperature, dry and ventilated.

Shelf life: This product is originally packaged in a cool, dry environment,

Shelf life: 12 months.

mechanism of action

Pepsin is a digestive protease secreted by the chief cells of the gastric mucosa in the stomach, and its function is to break down protein in food into small peptide fragments. When pepsin hydrolyzes proteins or polypeptides, it has a certain amino acid sequence specificity, and tends to hydrolyze amino-terminal or carboxyl-terminal aromatic amino acids (phenylalanine, tryptophan and tyrosine) or leucine. peptide bond.

Application field

This product can be widely used in medicine, feed, food, leather and other industries, such as:

1. Digestive medicine, used for dyspepsia caused by lack of pepsin or post-ill digestive function

2. It can be applied to the hydrolysis of animal and vegetable proteins to produce livestock and poultry feed or pet feed

3. It can be used in the hydrolysis of animal and vegetable proteins to produce food or health products such as peptone and polypeptide.

4. In the leather industry, it can be used in leather tanning to assist the softening of fur

5. Pepsin can be used in the manufacture of fish meal and the hydrolysis of other proteins (such as soy protein).

6. Pepsin can be used for curdling (combined with rennet) in cheese manufacturing, and can also be used to prevent turbidity in beer refrigeration.
