Enzymes are proteins or Rnas produced by living cells, which have high specificity and catalytic efficiency for their substrates. They are a class of extremely important biological catalysts. Enzymes can promote chemical reactions within living organisms to proceed efficiently and specifically under extremely mild conditions. According to the difference in their molecular composition, they can be classified into simple enzymes and conjugated enzymes. Enzymes that contain only protein are called simple enzymes. Binding enzymes are composed of enzyme proteins and cofactors.

The Role of Enzymes in Living Organisms

The life process of every living being, from small to large, reproduction and reproduction, birth, aging, illness and death, metabolism, is all related to enzymes. Without the catalysis of enzymes, even the most fundamental food digestion and oxygen respiration, which are crucial to life and death, cannot take place, let alone other problems. In fact, almost all kinds of reactions that occur in living organisms are catalyzed by enzymes. It can be said that without enzymes, there would be no life.

Enzymes are so important in life because the reaction speed catalyzed by enzymes is fast, which is about several thousand to hundreds of millions of times faster than that catalyzed by chemical catalysts. For instance, glucose in food reacts with oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water, releasing energy which serves as the source for maintaining the body temperature and all activities of living organisms. Without a catalyst, it would take several years or even longer under normal temperature and pressure conditions. To accelerate the reaction, it must be carried out at a temperature above 300 degrees Celsius, where combustion, oxidation and energy release are required. This is absolutely impossible in a living organism. In living organisms, under the catalytic action of a series of enzymes, it can be completed instantly at normal temperature and pressure, and the speed is beyond imagination.

Another reason is that an enzyme only catalyzes one reaction of one substance or the same reaction of chemically similar substances, and has no catalytic effect on other substances and reactions at all. The vast majority of enzymes only catalyze one reaction of one substance, and even substances with very similar structures will not react. This property is called the specificity of enzymatic catalysis. For instance, glucose oxidase only catalyzes the oxidation of the aldehyde group of glucose to gluconic acid. It never catalyzes the reactions of other groups of glucose, let alone the oxidation of other substances. To carry out the changes and reactions of thousands of substances in living organisms, corresponding enzymes are needed. Some people estimate that there are approximately 1,023 kinds of enzymes in living organisms. It is they that ensure the normal progress of life processes. Once a certain enzyme is lacking or its catalytic activity is low due to some reason, the metabolism of organisms will be abnormal, leading to diseases and even death.

OEM Bulk Enzymes

Because various enzyme products are very beneficial to human health, the demand for enzyme products is very large and the market prospects are very broad. As a factory manufacturer, we have very rich production and R&D capabilities and can customize products of various demands for customers. Our factory produces various popular enzyme preparations and can OEM bulk enzymes. Enzyme preparations refer to a class of substances extracted from living organisms that possess enzymatic properties. Their main function is to catalyze various chemical reactions during food processing and improve food processing methods. Six types of products have been approved in China, including papain, α -amylase preparations, refined pectinase, and β -glucosidase. Enzyme preparations are derived from biological sources and are generally safe. They can be used in appropriate amounts as needed for production.

The following is an introduction to an enzyme preparation with a high demand from customers - bromelain and Papain.

Bromelain and Papain

Bromelain is also known as bromelain. Thiol protease extracted from pineapple juice, peel, etc. Light yellow amorphous powder with a slight peculiar odor. Molecular weight 33,000. The optimal pH value for casein, hemoglobin and BAEE is 6 to 8, and for gelatin, it is 5.0. The enzyme activity is inhibited by heavy metals. Slightly soluble in water, insoluble in ethanol, acetone, chloroform and ether. It preferentially hydrolyzes the peptide chain on the carboxyl side of basic amino acids (such as arginine) or aromatic amino acids (such as phenylalanine, tyrosine), selectively hydrolyzes fibrin, can break down muscle fibers, and has a weak effect on fibrinogen. It can be used for clarifying beer, aiding digestion in medicine and reducing inflammation and swelling.

Bromelain helps the body absorb antibiotics and reduces side effects on the gastrointestinal tract. However, if one is allergic to antibiotics, eating pineapples at the same time will increase the allergic symptoms to antibiotics.

The elements in bromelain are absorbed by the human body at a very fast rate, and the price is not very high either, so it is very suitable for people with insufficient nutrient intake to consume. Bromelain (such as the papain found in papaya) interferes with the enzyme system and can effectively protect the gastric acid in the digestive tract.

Bromelain is one of many enzyme preparations and is also a kind of Enzymes that is in high demand among customers and is good for gastrointestinal health. We can not only provide high-quality and low-cost bromelain and OEM bulk enzymes, but also offer other enzyme preparations and OEM services to customers. If you have any needs in this regard, please feel free to contact us at any time.

Papain, abbreviated as papain enzyme, is also known as papain enzyme. It is a biological enzyme product extracted from the milk of unripe papaya (Carica papaya) fruits by modern biotechnology. It is a thiol (-SH) -containing endopeptidase with protease and esterase activities. It has a wide range of specificity and a strong hydrolytic ability for animal and plant proteins, peptides, esters, amides, etc. At the same time, it also has synthetic functions and can synthesize proteolytic products into protein-like substances. Papain is a useful digestive enzyme that can help the stomach better break down proteins and promote nutrient absorption. It also has anti-inflammatory effects, can soothe the stomach and intestines and reduce edema.
