Neova Technologies produces purified enzymes extracted from pork pancreas glands. These enzymes are naturally occurring pancreatic proteins that play an important role in the digestion of food. Neova uses the term trypsin as the designation for these enzyme preparations.

Trypsin is a serine-type protease that preferentially hydrolyzes peptide bonds whose carboxyl groups are contributed by lysine (Lys) or arginine (Arg).
