High Concentration Acid Protease (Powder) for Industrial Use

Halal & Kosher Certified 

hydrolysis of plant and animal proteins under acidic conditions

DESCRIPTION

• Acid Protease AP-6000 is a high concentration enzyme in powder form.
• AP-6000 is produced from strains of Aspergillus niger through submerged fermentation, extraction and refining processes.
• It can catalyze hydrolysis of plant and animal proteins under acidic conditions (pH 2.5∼4.0).

EFFECT OF PH

• AP-6000 can work at pH ranging from 2.0 to 6.0 with its optimal pH ranging from 2.5 to 4.0 at 40°C. The optimal pH for AP-6000 is 3.0.

EFFECT OF TEMPERATURE

• Optimal temperature range for AP-6000 is 30 to 50°C with 0.5% casein at pH around 3.0, and its optimal temperature is 40°C. AP-6000 is unstable above 50°C and inactivated quickly above 60°C.

EFFECT OF METAL IONS

• The enzyme activity of AP-6000 is activated by Mn²⁺, Ca²⁺ and Mg²⁺, whilst inhibited by Cu²⁺, Hg²⁺ and Al³⁺.

    STORAGE AND SHELF-LIFE

• Typical shelf-life is twelve months provided this product is stored at 0∼10°C in its original packaging, sealed and unopened, protected from direct sunlight. Prolonged storage and/or adverse conditions such as higher temperatures may lead to higher dosage requirement, therefore should be avoided.

    SAFETY & ENZYME HANDLING

• Inhalation of enzyme dust and mists should be avoided.
• In case of contact with skin or eyes, promptly rinse with water for at least 15 minutes.
• For detailed handling information, please refer to the Safety Data Sheet.
