2. Key Applications & Industrial Uses
Core Functionality
As a serine endopeptidase, Alkaline Protease hydrolyzes peptide bonds in proteins under alkaline conditions, enabling:
- Detergent Industry: Removal of protein-based stains (blood, egg, grass) in laundry and dishwashing formulations.
- Food Processing: Meat tenderization, brewing clarification, and dairy protein modification.
- Leather & Textiles: Dehairing, bating, and silk degumming with reduced chemical use.
- Biotechnology: Peptide synthesis in non-aqueous media (e.g., DMF) for pharmaceutical intermediates.
3. Operational Guidelines & Case Studies
Optimized Workflow
- Dosage: 0.2–0.5% (w/w) in detergents; adjust based on substrate complexity.
- Activation: Use at 40–60°C with pH 9.5–10.5 for 30–120 minutes.
- Inactivation: Heat to ≥75°C or lower pH to ≤6.0 post-reaction.
Case Example: Food Waste Valorization
A European biorefinery achieved 85% protein recovery from slaughterhouse waste using 0.3% Alkaline Protease at 55°C/pH 10, reducing processing time by 40% versus traditional methods.
