Pancreatic Enzymes - Overview

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.
