Protana® Prime
Protana® Prime for animal protein extraction is a unique exo-peptidase blend that releases free amino acids from protein. The result is flavor generation and debittering benefits. To achieve a high degree of hydrolysis and intense umami flavor, combine Protana® Prime with an endo-protease such as Alcalase® and a glutaminase such as Protana® UBoost.
Protana® Prime is suited to applications including meat and fish protein hydrolysates, yeast extraction and extraction of protein from other sources.
