Biocatalysts is to launch Promod 950L, a microbial protease preparation with broad substrate specificity. It is said to be efficient at hydrolysing vegetable, animal and fish proteins to increase solubility, reduce viscosity and produce specific flavours.
According to Biocatalysts, Promod 950L is particularly suitable for hydrolysis of baker's and brewer's yeast to increase solubility and yields during the manufacture of yeast extracts. Promod 950L, which is both Kosher and Halal, is also claimed to be a suitable alternative to papain and the microbial origin of the product is said to remove the variability of quality and supply associated with plant derived material.
