pancreatin protease powder use in industry of pharmaceutical and food

    Pancreatin is extracted from the pancreas of pigs or cows. Its main components include trypsin, amylase, and lipase, along with small amounts of chymotrypsin and elastase. Trypsin breaks down proteins into amino acids and small peptides, amylase hydrolyzes starch into sugars, and lipase promotes the breakdown of fats into glycerol and fatty acids, all of which work together to facilitate nutrient absorption in the intestines.

Medical treatment: Primarily used to treat diseases related to pancreatic insufficiency, such as chronic pancreatitis, cystic fibrosis, and pancreatic cancer, which lead to insufficient pancreatic enzyme secretion. It alleviates symptoms such as indigestion, steatorrhea, and weight loss. Common dosage forms include enteric-coated tablets or capsules, which should be taken with meals to ensure enzyme activity in the intestine;

Food processing: used for protein hydrolysis, such as producing seasonings and health food ingredients, and can also improve the texture of baked goods, assist in dairy processing, and enhance product quality and nutrient utilization.

1. Enzyme preparations are bioactive substances that are susceptible to the inhibitory and destructive effects of heavy metal ions (Fe3+, Cu2+, Hg+, Pb+, etc.) and oxidants. Contact with them should be avoided during use and storage;

2. For people who are easily sensitive, it may cause hypersensitivity reactions; Close contact or slight inhalation may irritate the skin, eyes, and mucosal tissues; During the use of enzyme products, it is recommended to wear protective equipment such as masks and eye masks.

3. Moisture proof, light proof, sealed and stored at low temperature (0-10 ° C) for 18 months. Enzymes experience a certain loss of enzyme activity during storage, with 5-10% loss of enzyme activity at 10 ° C for 6 months and 10-15% loss of enzyme activity at room temperature for 6 months.

4. Extending the storage period or being affected by harsh storage conditions such as high temperature and humidity can lead to an increase in usage.
