Animal protein is one of the essential raw materials in food processing and a significant source of protein in feed, crucial for the development of livestock and poultry farming. They also play a vital role in the pharmaceutical industry, such as in the preparation of biopharmaceuticals and medical collagen. Processing animal proteins allows for the extraction and purification of proteins for use in drug formulation and medical applications.

However, the processing of animal proteins presents challenges such as poor solubility, high viscosity, inadequate processing performance, uneven product texture, and suboptimal flavor. These issues can lead to the waste of substantial energy and raw materials, increasing production costs. Quality control is also complex and difficult, with the multi-step process of animal protein processing potentially leading to unstable product quality, low added value, and reduced market competitiveness.

Animal Protein Processing Enzyme Formulations

Enzyme formulations for animal protein processing can hydrolyze proteins, breaking down large molecular proteins into smaller peptides and amino acids. This helps to improve the solubility of animal proteins, reduce viscosity, and enhance taste and texture. The release of free amino acids and other precursors or intermediates that affect flavor can accelerate the development of taste while also improving the flavor profile of animal products. In feed processing, enzymatic treatment can increase protein content and digestibility, promoting the growth and development of animals and improving breeding efficiency. The use of enzymes also helps to reduce the consumption of raw materials and energy, improve the production environment, lower production costs, and increase efficiency. Furthermore, enzymes facilitate the creation of products that are difficult to obtain by other means, fostering the rapid development of new industries, technologies, and processes. Enzyme formulations can alter protein structures, making them more susceptible to denaturation and coagulation during processing, thereby enhancing product stability and quality. In protein product processing, a significant amount of by-products or waste can be converted into protein concentrates suitable for human consumption or as feed through enzymatic action. For instance, protease enzymes are used to produce beef and chicken broth to increase product value.

In the field of savory flavors, enzyme can control the degree of hydrolysis and improve the flavor. We recommend the use of complex protease EF108AN/FF104AN and papain PA series. For the collagen production, enzymatic hydrolysis of small molecular peptides is highly active and easily absorbed, and protease AP-200A is recommended. In pet food applications, enzyme can reduce viscosity and enhance freshness and flavor, with complex protease PF116/FF104 being recommended.
