SUKAPro AC Acid Protease CAS:9025-49-4 DESCRIPTION SUKAPro AC is a protease enzyme preparation active at acidic pH ranges and obtained from the submerged fermentation of a high protease-producing Aspergillus strain. It is widely used in feed, textile, wastewater treatment and juice purification. WORKING MECHANISM The proteolytic enzyme preparation in SUKAPro AC can break down the peptide bonds in the protein foods to liberate the amino acids or polypeptides in acidic condition. Haze in the fermentation broth will be clarified by adding acid Protease in the production of alcohol, wine, ratafee, beer, butter and soy. Yeast growth during the fermentation stage is improved by the conversion of suspended proteins into amino acids resulting to a higher fermentative speed and yield. PROPERTIES SUKAPro AC provides maximal benefit at pH 2.5-6.0 with optimum at pH 3.5 and at the temperature range of 10℃-50℃ (50-122°F) with optimum at 50℃ (122°F). SPECIFICATION SUKAPro AC is available in solid preparation as: SUKAPro AC PW 50 (with enzyme activity of 50,000 U/g) Unit definition: The amount of enzyme needed to liberate 1μg tyrosine in one minute at pH of 3.0, at the temperature of 40℃. SPECIFICATION SUKAPro AC is available in solid preparation as: SUKAPro AC PW 50 (with enzyme activity of 50,000 U/g) Unit definition: The amount of enzyme needed to liberate 1 μg tyrosine in one minute at pH of 3.0, at the temperature of 40℃. APPLICATION GUIDE For use as a feed additive, SUKAPro AC can be added to the mix at a rate of 5-10 U/g. For use in the brewing process, add SUKAPro AC at the rate of 5 U/g. PACKAGING SUKAPro AC in solid preparation is packaged in 30 kg/plastic drum. Alternative packaging is available upon request for smaller or larger volumes. STORAGE Store in a cool, dry place and away from direct sunlight. SUKAPro AC maintains its activity for considerably longer time when stored at lower temperatures (below 25°C). The product should not be frozen. HANDLING PRECAUTIONS SUKAPro AC is non-toxic and biodegradable. However, unnecessary contact with the product should be avoided. Long term exposure to protein based products such as SUKAPro AC may sensitize certain individuals to the product. Wash hands with warm soapy water after handling. Keep out of reach of children.
