Description
Acid protease NZs-BE-A007 is an acid-active enzyme preparation specifically designed for the degradation of proteins in tobacco leaves. It is produced through submerged fermentation of selected microbial strains, followed by purification and formulation. Operating efficiently under acidic conditions (optimal pH around 2.5-4.0), the enzyme catalyzes the hydrolysis of protein macromolecules into smaller peptides and free amino acids. This enzymatic breakdown plays a key role in tobacco processing by reducing overall protein content and transforming nitrogenous compounds.

Advantages
- The application of acid protease for protein degradation in tobacco leaves effectively modifies their combustion characteristics. By breaking down high-molecular-weight proteins, it helps reduce irritation and harshness, improve smoke smoothness, and reduce undesirable attributes such as pungency, irritation, and bitterness during smoking.
- This enzyme also significantly promotes the development and release of desirable aroma compounds. Through the generation of amino acids and other flavor precursors, it enriches the natural aroma of tobacco while reducing burnt flavor.
Recommended Dosage
The recommended dosage of acid protease NZs-BE-A007 is typically in the range of 50-300 g per ton of raw material. However, since application conditions may vary significantly, such as differences in processing methods, raw material composition, and operational parameters across facilities, the optimal dosage and method of addition should be carefully determined through preliminary trials.
Storage
The product should be stored in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated environment to preserve its stability and performance. Avoid direct sunlight, excessive humidity, and elevated temperatures, as these conditions may lead to a gradual loss of enzyme activity.
