Application
- Pancreatin for digestive enzyme research: Pancreatin, a mixture of digestive enzymes including amylase and protease, is extensively used in biochemical studies to understand digestive processes. It is pivotal in research focusing on enzyme mechanisms in the gastrointestinal tract and their role in nutrient absorption and digestion (Saruc et al., 2012).
- High-activity pancreatin for protein digestion studies: The potent activity of pancreatin′s proteolytic and amylolytic enzymes is utilized in scientific studies to dissect the pathways of protein and starch breakdown. This research is fundamental for developing improved therapeutic agents and understanding metabolic diseases linked to protein and carbohydrate metabolism (Gonçalvez et al., 1998).
- Pharmaceutical applications: In the pharmaceutical industry, pancreatin′s enzymes are applied in the formulation of medications that require precise digestive enzymes to activate or enhance drug delivery mechanisms, particularly in treatments targeting the digestive system (Friess et al., 1998).
Unit Definition
One USP Unit of amylase activity is contained in the amount of pancreatin that decomposes starch at an initial rate such that 0.16 µEq of glycosidic linkage is hydrolyzed per minute under the conditions of the Assay for amylase activity. One USP Unit of protease activity is contained in the amount of pancreatin that under the conditions of the Assay for protease activity hydrolyzes casein at an initial rate such that there is liberated per minute an amount of peptides not precipitated by trichloroacetic acid that gives the same absorbance at 280 nm as 15 nmol of tyrosine.

Sodium caseinate (NaCas) was hydrolyzed by papain, pancreatin and trypsin from 10 min to 24h, and the hydrolysates were partially characterized for several important properties. At the studied conditions, papain and trypsin were more effective in hydrolyzing NaCas than pancreatin.
