I. Product Introduction

Alginate Lyase is a class of lytic enzymes that specifically act on alginate (sodium alginate, alginic acid). It cleaves the glycosidic bonds within alginate molecules via β-elimination reaction, thereby efficiently degrading high-molecular-weight alginate to produce unsaturated alginate oligosaccharides. Alginate lyase manufactured by Zhongshuo Biotech features high enzyme activity, strong substrate specificity and mild reaction conditions. It leaves no chemical residues and is eco-friendly. Widely applied in seaweed deep processing, food processing, biological feed, agricultural plant protection, biological research and other fields, it serves as a core biological agent to replace traditional chemical degradation processes.

III. Product Advantages

• Strong substrate specificity: It can target and degrade poly-mannuronic acid (Poly M) and poly-guluronic acid (Poly G) fragments in alginate. As a bifunctional degrading enzyme, it exhibits far higher degradation efficiency toward high-molecular-weight alginate than ordinary hydrolases.

• Excellent enzyme activity stability: Adaptable to mild reaction environments with low activity loss under normal working conditions, wide pH tolerance range and good thermal stability for strong industrial compatibility.

• Mild reaction conditions: Reactions proceed at ambient temperature and atmospheric pressure without strong acids, strong bases, high temperature or high pressure. It preserves the active structure of products and retains the biological activity of alginate oligosaccharides.

• Green, safe and pollution-free: Pure biotechnologically fermented preparation, free of heavy metals and chemical additives. Degradation products are non-toxic and comply with safety standards for food and feed industries.

IV. Scope of Application

• Seaweed deep processing industry: Cell wall disruption and degradation of seaweed raw materials such as kelp, laver and giant kelp for efficient production of alginate oligosaccharides and seaweed active polysaccharides and improved extraction yield of active products.

• Food industry: Improve mouthfeel of seaweed food, reduce viscosity of foods containing alginate and optimize product texture; used for manufacturing raw materials of functional oligosaccharide foods and health supplements.

• Biological feed industry: Degrade anti-nutritional factors of alginate in feed to boost digestibility and absorption of seaweed feed. The generated alginate oligosaccharides can enhance immunity of livestock, poultry and aquatic animals.

• Agriculture: Prepare seaweed biostimulants and seaweed organic fertilizer. The degraded oligosaccharides promote crop growth and improve stress resistance of crops.

• Scientific research: Applied in alginate structural research, polysaccharide degradation mechanism studies, microbial engineering, biomaterial modification and other research scenarios.

• Biomaterials: Modify seaweed-based hydrogels and sustained-release materials to regulate material viscosity and molding performance.
