Acid Protease AP-6000 is produced from selected strains of Aspergillus niger through submerged fermentation, extraction and refining processes. It can catalyze hydrolysis of plant and animal proteins under acidic conditions .
AP-6000 has found its wide application in food industries, such as alcohol, fermentation and brewery, beer and wine production. It can also be used in leather processing, wool coloration and waste film recovery. It can be further processed into medical-grade protease as anti-inflammatory agents, digestion supplements, or protease reagents.
