Virtual International manufactures and supplies high-performance Neutral Protease, a crucial industrial enzyme renowned for its effective protein hydrolysis at a neutral pH range. We produce this enzyme through controlled microbial fermentation, primarily from Bacillus subtilis strains, ensuring a high-purity, stable, and consistently active product. Neutral Protease selectively cleaves peptide bonds, breaking down complex proteins into smaller peptides and amino acids. Industries utilize it extensively to improve protein solubility, enhance digestibility, modify texture, and clarify various protein-rich substrates. Our Neutral Protease offers a versatile, eco-friendly solution to optimize processes in food, feed, leather, and detergent manufacturing.

Key Features & Benefits

• Optimal Neutral pH Activity: It demonstrates superior proteolytic activity within a neutral pH range (typically 6.0-8.0), making it ideal for processes where extreme pH conditions are undesirable.
• Efficient Protein Hydrolysis: It effectively breaks down a wide array of proteins, improving their solubility, digestibility, and functional properties in various substrates.
• Enhanced Product Quality: In food applications, it improves texture, flavor, and stability of protein-containing products. In feed, it boosts nutrient availability and absorption.
• Reduced Processing Time & Costs: Its high efficiency allows for faster reactions, potentially lowering energy consumption and shortening production cycles.
• Broad Application Versatility: Our Neutral Protease finds widespread use in meat tenderization, baking, brewing, dairy processing, animal feed production, and textile finishing.
• Eco-Friendly Solution: As a biological catalyst, it offers a sustainable alternative to harsh chemical treatments, reducing waste and environmental impact.

Major Industrial Applications

Food & Beverage Industry:

• Meat Processing: Tenderizes meat, improving texture and cook quality.
• Baking: Modifies gluten in dough, enhancing extensibility and reducing mixing time.
• Brewing: Aids in protein degradation to prevent chill haze and improve beer clarity.
• Dairy: Produces protein hydrolysates for functional food ingredients and supplements.
• Soy & Vegetable Protein: Improves solubility and functional properties of plant-based proteins.

Animal Feed:

• Feed Formulations: Enhances protein digestion and amino acid absorption in poultry, swine, and aquaculture, improving feed conversion ratios (FCR).

Detergent Manufacturing:

• LaunDry Detergents: Effectively breaks down protein-based stains (e.g., blood, grass, food residues) on fabrics, improving cleaning performance.

Leather Industry:

• Bating Process: Facilitates hair removal and softens hides, preparing leather for tanning.
