Feed Grade Pectinase for Animal Feed

ART-EN-056 is a feed-directed pectinase enzyme for livestock applications where pectin-rich raw materials, fruit residues, vegetable by-products, soybean meal, rapeseed meal, sunflower meal, citrus pulp, beet pulp, and other fibrous ingredients are used in formulated diets. Pectinase catalyzes the breakdown of pectic substances, including polygalacturonic acid regions and methyl-esterified pectin fractions, reducing soluble-fiber complexity during feed processing and digestion-related substrate exposure. It is selected by feed mills and premix manufacturers as a functional processing aid within enzyme systems designed for monogastric and ruminant feed programs.

The standard commercial form is a free-flowing powder or granule, suitable for post-mixing into vitamin-mineral premixes, carrier-based enzyme blends, or finished compound feed. Typical technical targets may include declared pectinase activity by supplier method, controlled moisture commonly not more than 10%, carrier compatibility with wheat flour, starch, or mineral carriers, and particle distribution appropriate for homogeneous feed mixing. Final specification is confirmed by lot because enzyme activity units vary by assay method, substrate, pH, and temperature.

• Compound feed manufacturing: inclusion in livestock rations that contain pectin-bearing plant meals, fruit pomace, beet pulp, oilseed meals, or agro-industrial co-products.
• Premix and enzyme blend production: use as a single enzyme component or in combination with xylanase, beta-glucanase, cellulase, mannanase, amylase, protease, or phytase, subject to formulation compatibility testing.
• Swine and poultry feed programs: support for feed matrices where soluble non-starch polysaccharides influence mash flowability, pelleting behavior, and substrate accessibility.
• Ruminant and specialty livestock feeds: use in fiber-focused formulations where pectin-rich feedstuffs are present and the nutritionist requires declared enzymatic activity.
• Ingredient pre-treatment: application during moist processing, fermentation substrate preparation, or co-product upgrading when pectin hydrolysis is part of the process design.

Store ART-EN-056 in the original sealed 25 kg multi-wall sack in a cool, dry, ventilated warehouse, away from direct sunlight, condensation, and strong odors. Recommended storage is below 25 °C with relative humidity controlled as low as practical; avoid prolonged exposure above 35 °C because enzyme activity can decline with heat and moisture. Under recommended storage conditions, typical shelf life is 12 to 18 months from manufacture, with the exact retest or expiry date stated on the lot certificate.

During handling, minimize dust formation and use local ventilation where powders are charged into mixers. Operators should follow site procedures for enzyme powders, including gloves, eye protection, and respiratory protection when airborne dust may occur. Do not add directly to high-temperature pelleting zones unless the formulation has been validated for thermal stability; for heat-sensitive enzyme systems, post-pellet liquid application or protected granules may be preferred. Compatibility with organic acids, minerals, choline chloride, binders, and other premix components should be verified by retention testing.

ArtemisYeast supplies ART-EN-056 to B2B buyers with lot-specific documentation and specification review before shipment. Available documents may include certificate of analysis, product specification, safety data sheet, allergen statement, non-GMO statement where applicable, country-of-origin declaration, packing list, and export documents. Food and feed safety documentation such as HACCP, ISO 22000, FSSC 22000, Halal, or Kosher status can be reviewed when available for the selected manufacturing source; certification is not assumed unless confirmed in writing for the shipment.

Typical quality controls cover appearance, odor, moisture, declared enzyme activity, microbiological limits, heavy metals, and absence of foreign matter according to agreed specification. Procurement teams can request pre-shipment samples, retention samples, and third-party testing arrangements for high-volume programs. Our quality documentation process is designed for importers, feed mills, toll blenders, and nutrition groups that need traceability from order confirmation through delivery.
