1 Amylase FCC VI DU (Dextrinizing Unit): FCC – for non-bacterial alpha Amylase. A DU
is defined as the number of grams of soluble starch dextrinized per hour at 30oC and
pH 4.6.
2 Protease FCC VI HUT Assay (Hemoglobin Units on Tyrosine Basis): FCC - for fungal
proteases. Based on a 30-minute hydrolysis of a hemoglobin substrate at pH 4.7 and
40oC.
3 Lipase FCC VI LU (Lipase Units): FCC – The assay is based on the potentiometric
measurement of the rate at which the preparations will catalyze the hydrolysis of
tributyrin.
4 Cellulase FCC VI CU (Cellulase Unit): FCC – Assay is based on the enzymatic
hydrolysis of the interior β-1,4-Glucosidic bonds of a defined carboxymethyl cellulose
substrate at pH 4.5 and 40oC, measured by a reduction in viscosity.
5 Lactase FCC VI ALU (Lactase Unit): FCC – assay is based on a 15-minute hydrolysis
of an o-nitrophenyl-β-D-galactopyranoside substrate at 37oC and pH 4.5.
6 Hemicellulase FCC VI HCU (Hemicellulase Unit): FCC – One Hemicellulase Unit (HCU)
is defined as activity that will produce a relative fluidity change of 1 over 5 min in a
locust bean gum substrate at 40oC and pH 4.5.
7 Bromelain FCC VI PU (FCC unit of Bromelain Activity): FCC – One FCC Unit of Bromelain
activity is the activity that releases the equivalent of 1 μg of tyrosine per hour from a
specified casein substrate under the condition of the Assay.
8 Papain USP 34 PU (USP unit of Papain Activity): USP – One USP Unit of Papain activity
is the activity that releases the equivalent of 1 μg of tyrosine from a specified casein
substrate under the condition of the assay.
This product contains sources of Pepsin, Papain, Bromelain, Protease (hydrolyzes
proteins) and Lipase (hydrolyzes triglycerides).
