This product contains enzymes. While enzymes are safe to use in consumer applications, they need correct handling in working environments to ensure workers’ safety.

Indeed, repeated inhalation of enzyme dust or aerosols resulting from improper handling may induce sensitization and may cause allergic type 1 reactions in sensitized individuals.

Please follow the precautionary handling recommendations below:

The referenced media source is missing and needs to be re-embedded.
  • Avoid breathing dust/fume/gas/mist/vapors/spray
  • Avoid contact with eyes, skin, or clothing
  • In case of inadequate ventilation wear respiratory protection
  • IF INHALED: Remove person to fresh air and keep comfortable for breathing
  • If experiencing respiratory symptoms: Call a POISON CENTER or a doctor
  • Store in a dry place. Store in a closed container
  • Dispose of contents/containers in accordance with local regulations

Alcalase® provides peptides for exo-peptidases to hydrolyze further down to amino acids. Used with Protana® Prime, it increases protein hydrolysis by up to 50%. That's because these two products combined are a unique blend of endo- and exo-peptidases. Standard exo-peptidase preparations can’t match their level of hydrolysis. Together they also give you the highest possible level of glutamic acid and significant levels of di- and tripeptides. These further contribute to umami flavor. 

Alcalase® also works in synergy with Flavourzyme® to boost its flavor-enhancing benefits.

Testing one of our products in your own production is the best way to experience all the benefits.
