Sunson Asparaginase
is produced by submerged fermentation of finely selected microbial strain
followed by separation, purification and formulation. It specifically attacks
amido bond in asparagine and transforms the amino acid into aspartic
acid.
During the processing of starch rich foods
(e.g. French fries, puffed food) at high temperature, acrylamide, a potential
carcinogen is produced. Asparaginase is capable of transforming its precursor,
asparagine, blocking the pathway of acrylamide formation, and thus lowering
down acrylamide level.
