Catalase (powder): High activity catalyse for digesting peroxides.
Applications: include: Dairy, Beverage, Egg Processing, Food Packaging, Equipment Cleaning, Baking, Textile & Paper.
Properties: Food-grade high-activity catalase (powder) is a powerful biocatalyst widely used across food and beverage industries for its ability to rapidly decompose hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) into water and oxygen. This reaction is crucial for removing residual peroxide used in sterilization, bleaching, or disinfection processes, ensuring product safety and compliance with food-grade standards. The enzyme exhibits high catalytic efficiency, broad pH stability (typically pH 5–10), and thermal resilience, allowing it to perform effectively under diverse industrial conditions. Key benefits include improved process efficiency, shorter reaction times, and enhanced product quality by preventing oxidative damage to flavours, colours, and nutrients. Catalase is also eco-friendly and non-toxic, offering a sustainable alternative to chemical neutralisers in applications such as dairy processing, beverage clarification, egg product treatment, and textile bleaching.
