The product is produced by submerged fermentation of Bacillus licheniformis followed by purification and formulation. It can effectively hydrolyze proteins within alkaline pH range to produce peptides. It has been successfully used in the hydrolysis of soybean protein and other vegetable proteins. The product can also be used for the hydrolysis of collagen and aquatic products.
Alcalase, a serine-type endopeptidase, hydrolyzes protein
very efficiently to produce peptides or amino acids.
