Savinase is a liquid enzyme preparation containing a protease suitable for use in high pH, low-temparature detergent preparations.
SOURCE
Savinase is produced by submerged fermentation of a genetically-modified microorganism. The enzyme protein is not itself modified. After fermentation, the enzyme is separated from the production organism and purified.
USES
Savinase is used in detergent formulations to remove protein-based stains, e.g., grass, blood, mucous, faeces and various foods such as egg and gravy.
ACTIVITY
Savinase is an endo-protease of the serine type. It has a very broad substrate specificity. In other words, it can hydrolyse most peptide bonds within a protein molecule. Peptides are formed which are either dissolved or dispersed in the washing water.
Savinase is active throughout the pH range of interest for most detergent applications, namely pH 8-12 (optimally at pH 10). It functions between 20-60 °C, above which the activity falls rapidly. Its optimal temperature is 55 °C.
Some foods, e.g., eggs and potatoes, contain protease inhibitors that may inhibit Savinase activity.
STORAGE
Savinase should be stored at 3-5 °C.
