Feedstock for Protease

The production of potassium sorbate involves a fermentation process and the major feedstock used in the process are carbon sources and nitrogen sources. The availability and pricing of these raw materials affect the manufacturing of protease.

The procurement of carbon sources used for fermentation is affected by several critical factors like availability, cost, and overall production efficiency. The choice of carbon source impacts fermentation outcomes, and it generally includes sugars, carbohydrates, and alcohols and the selection affects microbial growth rates and product yield. The prices of raw materials changes based on market demand, agricultural yields, and transportation costs, while availability is affected by geographic location and seasonality. Also, regulatory standards regarding food safety and environmental impact also affect the choice of carbon sources. Advancements in biotechnology and fermentation technology shift interest toward less conventional carbon sources, further affecting industrial procurement of carbon sources.

The procurement of nitrogen sources used for fermentation as raw materials is influenced by several factors. The type of nitrogen source, which can be either inorganic or organic, affects fermentation efficiency and product yield. The prices of raw materials changes based on agricultural yields, market demand, and transportation costs that affect sourcing. Also, strict policies regarding food safety and environmental impact further affect the choice of nitrogen sources. Advancements in biotechnology and fermentation technology lead to the formation of efficient nitrogen sources that further affect its industrial procurement.

Manufacturing Process

This report comprises a thorough value chain evaluation for Protease manufacturing and consists of an in-depth production cost analysis revolving around industrial Protease manufacturing.

• By Fermentation: The feedstock for this process includes carbon sources and nitrogen sources.

The production of Protease is done via submerged fermentation. The process starts by selecting the right carbon sources, such as glucose, lactose, and starch, and nitrogen sources, like peptone, beef extract, and yeast extract. The pH is maintained to an ideal range, and the temperature is maintained between 25°C and 60°C. The incubation time varies from 24 hours to several days to get maximum yield. Finally, the product is separated and purified to get pure Protease as the final product.
 

Properties of Protease

Proteases consist of polypeptide chains and have varying molecular weights. It functions best at a pH of 6.0-7.0 and around 65 °C. Its Michaelis constant (K_m) and maximum velocity (V_max), vary based on the enzyme's source and type. It is classified into several categories based on their catalytic mechanisms. The serine proteases use a serine residue for the nucleophilic attack, while cysteine proteases utilize a cysteine residue, and aspartic and metalloproteases activate water molecules for hydrolysis. It is highly selective for particular amino acid sequences. Its activity is influenced by metal ions that improve stability. All these physical and chemical properties make proteases an important enzyme for biological processes and different industrial applications.
