Proteases are enzymes that catalyze the breakdown of proteins into smaller polypeptides or amino acids through hydrolysis. They are a mixture of pectinase, proteinase, and peptidase enzymes. Common producing organisms of proteases include bacterial species like Pseudomonas and fungal species like Aspergillus Niger. Proteases have various industrial applications, as they are used in large amounts in the detergent industry and are also utilized in the beverage and cheese industries for clarification and protein breakdown purposes.

1. Production of industrial
enzymes : Protease

2. What are proteases?
 Protease enzyme is mixture of Pectin enzyme(pectinases) + proteinases + peptidases.
 This is an enzyme that catalyzes proteolysis, breaking down proteins into smaller
polypeptides or single amino acids, and spurring the formation of new protein products. They
do this by cleaving the peptide bonds within proteins by hydrolysis, a reaction where water
breaks bonds.

3. Introduction
This Group of Enzyme catalyse hydrolysis of
protein molecule.
This enzyme is mixture of Pectin
enzyme(pectinases) + proteinases + peptidases.
Most proteases are very specific to what peptide
linkages they can break.

4. Producing organisms
Bacterial- Species of Pseudomonas, clostridium and
serratia, Staphylococcus aureus .
Fungal- Aspergillus Niger, Aspergillus Oryzae
High Yielding strain is selected and inoculated in
special culture media.

5. Application
Used in detergent
Industry in large
amounts.
Utilized in Beverage
Industry,
specifically in the
clarification of
Beverages.
Used in the Cheese
Industry.
