Dairy Related Enzymes
These enzymes are used in milk related applications. These include the production of low/no lactose milk, enzyme modified cheese, and cheese production.

LACTASES

ENZECO® FUNGAL LACTASE
An acid optimum beta-D-galactoside galactohydrolase derived from Aspergillus oryzae. The activity of the enzyme is expressed in FCC Lactase units/gram. pH range between 4.0 and 7.5. Optimum temperature of 55 degrees C at both pH 4.5 and 6.5. Galactose has a strong inhibitory effect on the activity. Generally used in dry mixes containing lactose or in lactase type tablets or capsules.

ENZECO® LACTASE NL
A neutral liquid lactase preparation derived from the dairy yeast Kluyveromyces that catalyzes the conversion of lactose to its component sugars (glucose and galactose). Generally used for the production of no/low lactose milk.

LIPASES

ENZECO® MICROBIAL LIPASE 50,000
A powder microbial lipase derived from a select strain of Aspergillus niger. Has maximum lipolytic activity at pH 5.0 to 7.0 when assayed with olive oil and is quite stable at pH 3.0 to 7.0. Optimum pH 6.5 at 37degrees C.

ENZECO® ESTERASE/LIPASE
A powder fungal enzyme preparation derived from Mucor miehei. Optimum pH 7.0 - range of 5.0 to 8.0. Optimum temperature is between 45-50 degrees C. Activity decreases at temperatures above 64 degrees C.

ENZECO® LIPASE RO 20
A unique lipase derived from Rhizopus oryzae. The enzyme produces significant levels of short chain fatty acids such as C8. The action on longer chain fatty acids is not as aggressive as the lipase from A. niger or pancreatic lipase.

ENZECO® LIPASE CONCENTRATE
Derived from Candida cylindracea, (aka candida rugosa) it has a broad activity on many different fats.

PROTEASES

ENZECO® FUNGAL PROTEASES

FUNGAL ACID PROTEASE
FUNGAL PROTEASE 100

FUNGAL PROTEASE 180
FUNGAL PROTEASE 400

FUNGAL PROTEASE CONCENTRATE
A variety of fungal enzyme preparations produced from Aspergillus oryzae and Aspergillus niger. Proteolytic activity choices spread over a pH range of 3.0 to 10.0. Optimum temperatures are usually in the range of 50-60 degrees C. The enzyme preparations are rapidly inactivated at temperatures above 65 degrees C. FUNGAL PROTEASE CONCENTRATE, PROTEASE 400, and PROTEASE 100, contain varying levels of leucine aminopeptidase and other debittering peptidases as well as varying levels of neutral and alkaline proteases.

ENZECO® NEUTRAL BACTERIAL PROTEASE II 2X
This is a neutral protease derived from B. subtilis. It is a powder with a pH range of 5.5 to 8.0 with optimum of 7.0. Optimum temperature is 50 degrees C. This version contains significant amylase side activities and cannot be kosher certified.

ENZECO® NEUTRAL BACTERIAL PROTEASE 160K
This is a neutral protease derived from B. subtilis. It is a powder with a pH range of 5.5 to 8.0 with optimum of 7.0. Optimum temperature is 50 degrees C. This version contains no/very low amylase side activity and can be kosher certified.

ENZECO® NEUTRAL BACTERIAL PROTEASE BL490
This is a liquid neutral/alkaline protease derived from B.licheniformis, kosher with a pH range of 6.0 to 9.5 and an optimum temperature range of 40 - 60 degrees C.

Other Enzymes

ENZECO® LYSOZYME CHLORIDE
Derived from egg white, this preparation lyses the cell wall of gram positive bacteria. It is used in milk for cheese production to prevent "gas formers" and in other products to inhibit growth of lactobacillus and related bacteria. Available as a powder or a liquid.
