Frequently Asked Questions
1. What are enzymes and their function?
The enzymes are proteins. It works as a catalyst and enhance the rate of chemical reaction. Enzymes helps in breakdown of complex macro-molecules such as proteins, carbohydrate, lipids and fats into micro-molecules molecules. For example: Enzyme protease convert protein into peptides and amino acids. In today’s scenario, enzymes are used in industrial applications and their processes to increase the yield of final products. Now a days, enzymes play a vital role in pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, food industries, agriculture industries, textile industries, dairy industries, leather industries and sugar and alcohol industries etc
2. What is the minimum order quantity for your enzymes?
5 kg, 25 kg, 50 kg
3. What is the shelf life of your enzymes?
Shelf life of our enzymes are in between 1 to 2 years.
4. How should enzymes be stored?
Enzymes are stored in cool and dry place or at low temperature (2- 8°C). Or as instructed by the manufacturer.
5. What safety precautions are required when handling enzymes?
While handling the enzymes avoid the spill. The user should wear hand gloves to avoid any skin and eye irritation
6. What is standard packaging for your enzymes?
Enzymes are generally packed in PVC bags/bottles/Drums or in the aluminum pouch.
7. In which physical form are your enzymes available?
The enzymes are mainly available in powder and liquid form.
8. How is enzyme activity measured?
Enzyme activity is measured with the help of an analytical assay (unit/g or unit/ml).
9. What key parameters define enzyme performance?
The enzyme gives optimum performance at specific pH, temperature and substrate.
10. Are enzymes safe for use?
Enzymes are safe. In some cases they may cause skin and eye irritation if exposed to the body part.
11. Why one should opt for enzymes over traditional alternative?
Enzymes are nontoxic, biodegradable, efficient and highly specific to pH, temperature, and substrate. Worked in mild conditions and save energy.
