Aminopeptidase is produced through microbial fermentation and refined by advanced extraction technology. It’s a class of exoproteases that can selectively excise amino acid residues from the N-terminus of proteins and polypeptides to generate free amino acids. It can also be used for the complete hydrolysis of protein, reducing the production of bitterness, improving the flavor and making the umami more intense.
Functions of Aminopeptidase
Aminopeptidase has a good application in the debitterization of protein hydrolyzate, the deep hydrolysis of protein and the preparation of biologically active polypeptides.
It can effectively remove bitterness and improve the flavor of hydrolyzate.
When used in combination with protease, the hydrolysis degree of protein can be greatly improved.
Further increase the amino acid content in the hydrolyzate, and the effective utilization rate of protein is over 90%.
Dosage of Aminopeptidase
Recommended dosage is 0.1-0.2% (based on the dry weight of the material) for 3-5 hours at 50 ℃ and natural pH.
Application
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the primary function of Aminopeptidase?
Aminopeptidase is an exoprotease that hydrolyzes proteins from the N-terminus to release free amino acids. It is highly effective in reducing bitterness, improving product flavor, and increasing overall umami characteristics.
Q: What are the optimum temperature and pH conditions for this enzyme?
The optimum working temperature is 50℃ (with an effective range of 40℃-65℃), and the optimum pH is 7.0 (with an effective working range of 4.0-8.0).
Q: Can Aminopeptidase be used with other enzymes?
Yes, when used in combination with endoproteases, the overall degree of protein hydrolysis and utilization can be significantly improved, often exceeding 90%.
Q: What is the recommended dosage for application?
The general recommended dosage is 0.1-0.2% based on the dry weight of the substrate material, with a processing duration of 3 to 5 hours under optimum conditions.
Q: How should Aminopeptidase be packaged and stored?
The product comes in a 20kg/box packaging. It should be stored under cover in cool, dry conditions away from direct sunlight and high temperatures. It has a shelf life of 12 months.
