Description
Food Grade Pepsin Enzyme Powder 99% CAS 9001-75-6Basic InfoProduct Name: PepsinCAS No. 9001-75-6Molecular Formula: n.a.Molecular Weight: 0Specification: 99%Appearance:White Powder
Pepsin is a digestive enzyme; it is extracted from Pepsinogen under PH 1.5-5.0 and the pepsinogen is secreted by the stomach cell.Pepsin can decompose the solidified proteins into peptone by effect of stomach acid, but it can not go any further to amino acid. The best effective condition for pepsin is PH 1.6-1.8.It is widely used for the dyspepsia caused by over taking proteinic foods and lack of stomach proteinase caused by digestive hypofunction in the recovering period. It also has effect on curing
chronic of atronic of atrophic gastritis, gastric,gastric cancer and malignant anaemia.
Function and Application
Pepsin is a digestive aid. It is used for dyspepsia caused by deficiency of pepsin or hypothyroidism after illness.
Pepsin can be used for biochemical research, protein structure analysis, and as a digestive enzyme in medicine.
Pepsin is an enzyme preparation. It can be used for the hydrolysis of fish meal and other proteins (such as soy protein), curd in cheese making (combined with chymase), and can also be used to prevent the cryopreservation of beer.
