Applications of Protease Enzyme
Bakery, Biscuits & Crackers:
Neutral protease modifies gluten and dough proteins, supporting dough relaxation, extensibility and machinability in biscuits, crackers and bakery products.
Protein Hydrolysis & Sports Nutrition:
Acid and neutral proteases hydrolyze whey, milk and other proteins to produce protein hydrolysates for WPC, WPI, sports nutrition, supplements, protein beverages and protein bars.
Dairy & Food Processing:
Protease supports dairy protein modification, cheese processing and protein hydrolysis, with selected applications in meat and seafood processing.
Brewing, Distillery & Fermentation:
Protease supports protein modification, clarification and fermentation processing in brewing, distillery and other fermentation applications.
Detergent & Cleaning:
Alkaline protease breaks down protein-based stains such as blood, milk, egg and food residues, supporting their removal in laundry, dishwashing and industrial cleaning.
Leather Processing:
Protease supports soaking, dehairing and bating by breaking down proteinaceous materials during leather processing.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) About Protease Enzyme
What is protease enzyme and how does it work?
rotease hydrolyzes peptide bonds in proteins, breaking large protein molecules into smaller peptides and, depending on the degree of hydrolysis, amino acids.
What is the difference between acid, neutral and alkaline protease?
They are selected according to their preferred operating pH. Acid protease typically operates around pH 3–6, neutral protease around pH 6–8, and alkaline protease around pH 8–12.
How is protease used in biscuits and crackers?
Neutral protease modifies gluten and other dough proteins, helping improve dough relaxation, extensibility and machinability in biscuit and cracker production.
How is protease used for whey protein hydrolysis?
Acid and neutral proteases hydrolyze whey proteins such as WPC and WPI, producing smaller peptides for whey protein hydrolysates, sports nutrition and nutritional products.
What is the role of protease in cheese and dairy processing?
Protease can support cheese ripening and flavor development by breaking down milk proteins into smaller peptides and other components. It is also used in selected dairy protein processing applications.
How does protease work in detergent formulations?
Protease breaks down protein-based stains such as blood, milk, egg and food residues, helping make them easier to remove during washing.
How is protease used in leather processing?
Protease supports soaking, dehairing and bating by breaking down proteinaceous materials on hides and skins.
How can I source protease enzyme from Catalex Bio?
