PRESS RELEASE: Bionetix® Unleashes the Power of Protease/Keratinase!

Bionetix® International is pleased to introduce its fourth enzyme concentrate: ECP1611™! Available in powder form, this high-efficiency protease enzyme with keratinase activity can be used in a wide range of industries—from detergent formulation to waste management. ECP1611™ hydrolyzes both general proteins and keratin-rich substances into smaller molecules, making it ideal for applications that deal with hair, feathers, and similar substances. In a world where protein is ubiquitous and microbially sourced enzymes are gaining popularity, ECP1611™ meets an important need for manufacturers and formulators who require a biological catalyst for better products and processes.

 

Stain-Removing Detergents

Proteases are most widely used in the detergent industry because they help to loosen stains composed of protein materials such as blood, eggs, dairy, and grass. Combined with other enzymes such as cellulase, mannanase, lipase, and amylase, they can create a powerful cleaning formula for dishwashing detergents, laundry presoaks and detergents, and stain removers. Because of their biological origin, enzyme concentrates such as ECP1611™ are also a great alternative to phosphate-based cleaning components.

Improving Leather and Textile Production

Leather processing is one of the newer uses for protease, and this application is gaining popularity. Because ECP1611™ includes protease with keratinase activity, it is ideal for removing hair and skin in the tanning process, replacing harsh chemicals during the bating and dehairing stages. It can also be used in the textile industry (e.g., wool and silk finishing) to improve fiber textures.

Enriching Animal Feed and Agriculture

When used as a feed supplement or additive, ECP1611™ can aid livestock digestion and enhance feed quality by breaking down proteins. Going one step farther, it can be used to manage waste in the food industry by helping convert discarded high-protein materials, such as feathers and other keratin-rich poultry features, into nutrient-rich livestock feeds or organic fertilizers.

Efficient Waste Management

In addition to reclaiming and repurposing nutrient rich waste that might otherwise turn into an environmental problem, ECP1611™ can be used directly at waste treatment facilities to make sludge dewatering more efficient and speed up other aspects of the waste treatment process through enhanced protein digestion.

Unlock the Power of Protease/Keratinase!

Whether you need to remove protein-based stains, improve your leather tanning process, or boost animal nutrition, ECP1611™ serves as a powerful biological
catalyst ready to serve your protein-hydrolysis needs. Start unlocking the power of protease with keratinase activity today!

NEWS ALERT: New Microbiologist Motivated by Environmental Cleanup Potential

The potential for environmental cleanup with microorganisms is a strong motivator for Shadi Rajab, who has been the new Microbiologist at Bionetix® International since last May. With her rich background in microbiology, Shadi is well-equipped to bring Bionetix® biologicals to the next level of quality and potential in cleaning, waste treatment, agriculture, and more.

Shadi’s extensive educational background includes a B.S. in Biotechnology and two master’s degrees: one in Microbial Biotechnology, the other in Molecular Biology. She has also worked in the probiotics industry for more than seven years, dealing with everything from R&D to full-scale production. These experiences will prove invaluable as Shadi focuses on her four main responsibilities at Bionetix®: (1) overseeing isolation, identification, and characterization of microorganisms; (2) optimizing their growth and production processes; (3) developing new microbial strains for use in environmental cleanup, agriculture, and animal feed; and (4) troubleshooting microbial issues that arise.

By minutely studying and characterizing microorganisms, Shadi will enable Bionetix® to reimagine current biotechnologies and develop new strains to their best potential. Shadi is especially interested in the field of waste treatment and commented, “The idea of using microorganisms to cleanup human-made environmental contaminants motivates me to work every day.”

Bionetix® is excited to have Shadi on the team and looks forward to seeing her energy and expertise propel Bionetix® R&D to greater heights of environmental cleanup and enhancement around the world!
