Neova Technologies produces purified enzymes extracted from government-certified
beef and pork pancreas glands. These enzymes are naturally
occurring pancreatic proteins that play an important role
in the digestion of food.
The two main enzymes, trypsin and chymotrypsin, are refined
and blended to meet different functional requirements
as determined in consultation with customers. Trypsin and
chymotrypsin are classified as serine proteases, with specific
cleaving characteristics.
Trypsin preferentially hydrolyzes bonds whose carboxyl groups
are contributed by lysine (Lys) or arginine (Arg). Chymotrypsin
hydrolyzes peptide bonds involving phenylalanine (Phe), tyrosine
(Tyr) and tryptophan (Try).
Phospholipase (PA2) is a standardized product, which cleaves
the fatty acid at the second position in phospholipids.
