Catalog Number NZs-BE-A018

Grade Food Grade

Category Proteases

Description

Neutral protease NZs-BE-A018 is a high-performance endopeptide derived from Bacillus subtilis through submerged fermentation. The enzyme is subsequently refined and concentrated using advanced separation and purification technologies, including microfiltration, ultrafiltration, and vacuum freeze-drying, ensuring high purity, stability, and consistent activity. This protease is characterized by a relatively large molecular weight and exhibits specificity toward peptide bonds adjacent to hydrophobic amino acid residues, enabling efficient cleavage at the amino-terminal side. As a metalloprotease, its catalytic activity is dependent on the presence of divalent metal ions such as Mg²⁺, Zn²⁺, and Ca²⁺, which contribute to maintaining its structural integrity and enzymatic performance. Compared with neutral proteases derived from other sources, NZs-BE-A018 offers distinct advantages, including a faster and more controlled catalytic rate, less bitterness in the hydrolysate, and broader substrate adaptability. Functionally, it operates optimally under neutral to slightly acidic or slightly alkaline pH conditions, making it highly versatile across different processing environments. It effectively hydrolyzes complex proteins into smaller peptides, amino acids, and other bioactive components, thereby improving solubility, digestibility, and functional properties of protein substrates. Owing to these characteristics, Neutral Protease NZs-BE-A018 is widely applied in various industries, including baking, condiment processing, and beer brewing, where it serves as a reliable and efficient solution for protein modification and hydrolysis.

Applications

Baking industry. Neutral protease NZs-BE-A018 is widely applied in the baking industry, particularly in cookie production, where it functions as an effective dough improver. By partially hydrolyzing gluten proteins, it reduces dough elasticity and improves extensibility, thereby facilitating dough handling and shaping. This enzymatic action helps shorten both mixing and fermentation times, enhances processing efficiency, and contributes to a more uniform texture and desirable final product quality.
Condiment processing. In the field of advanced condiments and food nutritional enhancers, this protease plays a key role in protein modification and flavor development. Through controlled hydrolysis of protein raw materials, it generates peptides and free amino acids that not only improve nutritional value but also enhance umami taste.
Beer brewing. It effectively breaks down haze-forming proteins, thereby improving the clarity and stability of beer. Additionally, it can be used in combination with other enzymatic systems to create synergistic "beer enzyme complexes," further enhancing clarification efficiency, optimizing filtration performance, and reducing undesirable bitter compounds.

Storage

Neutral protease NZs-BE-A018 should be stored in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated environment to maintain its stability and enzymatic activity. The product must be kept in a tightly sealed container to prevent moisture absorption and contamination. It should be protected from direct sunlight, elevated temperatures, and humid conditions, as these factors may lead to a reduction in enzyme activity or product degradation. For optimal shelf life and performance, always reseal the packaging promptly after each use.
