Technical Specifications: Neutral Protease
Neutral Protease
Neutral Protease is a highly efficient proteolytic enzyme that hydrolyzes proteins into peptides and amino acids under neutral pH conditions. Valued for its mild reaction characteristics, high catalytic efficiency, and ability to function effectively without causing excessive damage to sensitive substrates, it operates optimally around a neutral pH range, making it suitable for balanced processing applications.
Biological Origin & Source
Produced through controlled microbial fermentation using selected bacterial or fungal strains: Bacillus spp. or Aspergillus species. The enzyme is standardized for activity.
Key Product Characteristics
Contains zinc and calcium ions for structure, targets Fibronectin and Collagen IV, and shows high neutral pH stability.
Digestive & Feed Benefits
Primary Bio-Function
Hydrolyzes peptide bonds in proteins, converts proteins into smaller peptides and amino acids, and maximizes protein digestion and hydrolysis efficiency.
Digestive Health Benefits
Functions optimally at pH 6.0-7.5, complementing stomach proteolysis by breaking down stubborn hydrophobic proteins in the midgut.
Animal Feed Benefits
Enhances overall protein digestibility in diverse feed ingredients, improves feed conversion efficiency, and supports better nutrient utilization in poultry, swine, and aquaculture operations.
Mechanism of Action (MOA)
- Chyme Passage: Partially digested protein mass moves into the neutral-pH environment of the small intestine.
- Metalloprotease Attack: Zinc-stabilized active site targets hydrophobic peptide links.
- Amino Acid Release: Proteins convert into free amino acids and small peptides.
- Uptake: Nutrients are absorbed, lowering nitrogen levels in manure and reducing gut inflammation.
