Product Overview
Pepsin is a proteolytic enzyme secreted by gastric mucosa. It appears as white to pale yellow powder or granular solid. It can effectively decompose proteins into small peptides, widely used in pharmaceutical preparations, food processing, feed industry and biochemical research. Produced by extraction, purification and drying, the product has stable enzyme activity and reliable quality. For legitimate industrial production and scientific research only.
Product Features
- High Enzyme Activity: Stable catalytic performance, strong protein hydrolysis capacity.
- Acid Resistance: Works efficiently under acidic environment, suitable for gastric digestive formulations.
- Good Compatibility: Compatible with most auxiliary materials in pharmaceuticals and food.
- Mild Reaction: Catalyzes reactions under normal temperature and pressure without by-products.
- Strict Quality Control: Full batch testing; COA and MSDS are available upon request.
