Application of pure pepsin for digestion improvement Health food, feed, dairy products, and medicine

   Pepsin is an acidic protease derived from the gastric mucosa of animals. It is primarily formed by the activation of pepsinogen secreted by gastric parietal cells through gastric acid. With an optimal pH range of 1.5–2.5, it specifically hydrolyzes peptide bonds in protein molecules, breaking down macromolecular proteins into small peptide molecules and amino acids. It serves as a vital digestive enzyme in the human digestive system.

In the medical field: Pepsin serves as the core ingredient in digestive aids, commonly used to treat symptoms such as indigestion and loss of appetite caused by pepsin deficiency or impaired digestive function. It is often combined with dilute hydrochloric acid, vitamins, and other components in compound formulations to enhance therapeutic efficacy.

Food Industry: Pepsin is utilized in dairy processing, such as promoting curd formation during cheese production to improve texture.

Feed industry: Adding pepsin enhances protein digestibility in feed, promoting nutrient absorption in livestock and poultry. It is particularly suitable for feed formulations targeting young animals.

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.
