This product contains enzymes. While enzymes are safe to use in consumer applications, they need correct handling in working environments to ensure workers’ safety.
Indeed, repeated inhalation of enzyme dust or aerosols resulting from improper handling may induce sensitization and may cause allergic type 1 reactions in sensitized individuals.
Please follow the precautionary handling recommendations below:
- Avoid breathing dust/fume/gas/mist/vapors/spray
- Avoid contact with eyes, skin, or clothing
- In case of inadequate ventilation wear respiratory protection
- IF INHALED: Remove person to fresh air and keep comfortable for breathing
- If experiencing respiratory symptoms: Call a POISON CENTER or a doctor
- Store in a dry place. Store in a closed container
- Dispose of contents/containers in accordance with local regulations

The unique combination of Protana ® UBoost , Alcalase®, and Protana® Prime provides the highest release of glutamic acid and also a significant release of di- and tripeptides, which further contribute to the umami taste. Protana® UBoost also prevents the formation of the non-taste-contributing ring-formed pyroglutamate, ensuring maximum conversion of glutamine to glutamic acid.
