Protein and Nucleic Acid Processing Enzyme

ART-EN-020 is a dry enzyme preparation for protein and nucleic acid processing in animal-feed-livestock applications. It is intended for processors handling yeast biomass, microbial protein, oilseed meals, cereal protein fractions, or other feed substrates where smaller peptides, soluble nitrogen, and managed nucleotide profiles are part of the formulation target. The product is supplied as a free-flowing powder in 25 kg multi-wall sacks for industrial batching, slurry processing, or controlled hydrolysis systems. For related industrial inputs, see our enzymes and fermentation category.

Typical specification targets are set by lot and confirmed on the certificate of analysis. Common procurement checkpoints include protease activity in U/g, nuclease activity in U/g, moisture not more than 8%, pH working range approximately 5.5 to 8.5, and particle size with not less than 90% passing 40 mesh. The preparation is not a live yeast product, so CFU/g is not applicable. In yeast-vertical processing, it is commonly evaluated against substrate crude protein, peptide nitrogen release, RNA reduction, soluble solids, viscosity, and final meal drying behavior.

• Livestock feed ingredient processing: enzymatic hydrolysis of yeast, microbial, plant, or mixed protein streams before drying, blending, or pelleting.
• Yeast biomass upgrading: processing of inactive yeast, yeast extract side-streams, and nucleotide-rich fractions where protein solubilization and controlled nucleic acid conversion are required.
• Feed premix and concentrate production: use in wet or semi-wet preparation steps before carrier addition, spray drying, drum drying, or low-temperature drying.
• R&D formulation work: pilot trials to define dose response, hydrolysis time, pH, temperature, and substrate solids before scale-up to commercial feed production.
• Industrial fermentation co-products: conversion of proteinaceous process streams into more consistent feed-grade intermediates for internal use or external sale.

Store unopened sacks in a clean, dry, odor-free warehouse at 5-25°C, away from direct sun, steam lines, condensate, and strong oxidizing materials. Recommended shelf life is typically 12 months from manufacture when stored in original packaging under dry conditions; confirm the specific date on the lot CoA. Reseal opened sacks immediately and use promptly to limit moisture uptake and activity loss. During processing, add the enzyme after the slurry reaches the validated pH and temperature window. Avoid prolonged exposure above the validated thermal limit, as excessive heat can reduce residual activity. Plant trials commonly start at 0.05-0.30% of dry substrate, then adjust by hydrolysis target and economics.

ART-EN-020 is supplied for B2B industrial processing and is controlled by lot number, manufacturing date, and retained sample program. A certificate of analysis can include appearance, moisture, enzyme activity, particle size, and microbiological limits where applicable. Documentation such as specification sheet, allergen statement, non-animal origin statement, SDS, food/feed-grade declaration, and HACCP, ISO 22000, FSSC 22000, Halal, or Kosher documentation is available on request when applicable to the production route and market.
