Application of pancreatic enzymes in protein hydrolysis and feed fields
Jul 05, 2024
Pancreatic enzymes are a complex enzyme preparation extracted and refined from the pancreas of pigs and cattle, containing three main components: trypsin, pancreatic lipase, and pancreatic amylase. Pancreatic enzymes are commonly used in pharmaceutical processing. Their main function is to help the gastrointestinal tract decompose and absorb food, which is beneficial to the digestion of food. These enzymes are specific and decompose different nutrients. The clinical application of pancreatic enzymes includes enteric-coated pancreatic enzyme tablets, which are often used to treat symptoms such as indigestion, bloating, and steatorrhea. The efficacy of enteric-coated pancreatic enzyme tablets is mainly to release pancreatic enzymes in the intestine after oral administration, thereby enhancing the intestinal digestion and absorption of food. In addition, pancreatic enzymes are used in the fields of animal and plant protein hydrolysis and feed processing.
Application of pancreatic enzymes in meat hydrolysis
Beef flavor is obtained by enzymatic hydrolysis of meat and then Maillard reaction, which can be widely used in various foods and seasonings that need to increase saltiness, such as meat products, snack foods, processed meat products, soups, instant noodles, etc. It can provide food with a rich aroma and taste, improve the flavor and quality of food, and increase consumers' appetite. By utilizing the proteolytic properties of pancreatic enzymes, by controlling parameters such as temperature, pH value and time, the protein in beef is decomposed into small molecule peptides and amino acids, etc. These small molecule peptides and amino acids have a strong umami taste and aroma, and can be made into salty flavors after processing.
As a feed additive, pancreatic enzymes can promote the digestion and absorption of feed by animals, and improve the production performance and disease resistance of animals. Pancreatic enzymes are a digestive enzyme in the animal digestive system that can decompose proteins, fats and carbohydrates in feed into small molecule peptides, amino acids, glucose and fatty acids, etc., thereby improving the digestion and absorption rate of animals. When animals ingest pancreatic enzymes, pancreatic enzymes work in the intestines to help decompose the nutrients in the feed, making it easier to digest and absorb. Pancreatic enzymes are widely used in the breeding industry as feed additives, especially for breeding chickens, pigs, cattle, fish and other animals. Adding pancreatic enzymes to feed can significantly increase the growth rate and feed conversion rate of animals, improve the appetite and digestion and absorption capacity of animals, and promote the growth and development of young animals. For example, adding an appropriate amount of pancreatic enzymes to pig feed can increase the daily weight gain and feed utilization rate of pigs and reduce the feed-to-meat ratio. At the same time, pancreatic enzymes can also improve the disease resistance of animals and reduce the occurrence of diseases.
