Frequently Asked Questions

What is Acid Protease (EC 3.4.23.18) used for?

Acid Protease is used for 🍶 Alcohol & Spirits, 🍺 Brewing, 🐄 Animal Feed, 🧪 Protein Hydrolysis, 🫘 Soy Sauce & Seasonings, and 🧴 Leather Processing.

What are the optimal pH and temperature for Acid Protease?

For best performance, use Acid Protease at optimal pH 2.0–5.0 and optimal temperature 30°C–50°C.

How should I interpret the activity value (50,000–100,000 U/g)?

The activity range indicates the enzyme’s measured units per gram. Higher activity typically enables faster protein hydrolysis at the same dosage; final dosing should be confirmed by your application trials.

How does Acid Protease help in brewing and wort clarity?

By hydrolyzing proteins under acidic conditions, Acid Protease can improve protein utilization and reduce haze, supporting clearer wort and more consistent beer processing.

What is the shelf life and how should I store Acid Protease?

Acid Protease has a 12-month shelf life when sealed and stored in a cool, dry place. Avoid moisture exposure and follow your COA/TDS storage guidance.
