Applications

Alkaline Protease catalyzes the hydrolysis of proteins under alkaline conditions, helping release peptides and amino acids to improve cleaning performance, process efficiency, and product functionality across laundry, leather processing, protein recovery, peptide production, and industrial cleaning.

🧺

Laundry Detergent

Removes protein-based stains (blood, grass, food) in alkaline wash conditions. Core ingredient in modern enzyme-boosted detergent formulations.

🧴

Leather Dehairing

Replaces sodium sulfide in leather bating and dehairing, reducing chemical waste and improving hide quality at pH 8–11.

🐟

Fish Meal & Protein Recovery

Hydrolyzes fish offal and poultry byproducts into soluble protein concentrates for animal feed and aquaculture.

🧪

Pharmaceutical Peptides

Controlled hydrolysis of casein, soy, and whey proteins to produce defined peptide fractions for nutraceuticals.

🧹

Industrial Cleaning

CIP (clean-in-place) formulations for dairy, brewing, and food processing equipment where protein residue builds up.

🌾

Wheat Gluten Modification

Partial hydrolysis of gluten for improved solubility and functional properties in food ingredient manufacturing.
