It is good practice to store enzymes in a refrigerator (5°C approx.). This should give a shelf life of 12 months without significant loss of activity.
All enzymes, as supplied, should be considered as 100% (unless otherwise specified) for example:
- Cellulase is supplied as 2g powder - 1g in 100ml gives a 1% working solution
- Pectinase supplied as 100ml - 1ml diluted to 100ml gives a 1% solution
Glossary:
- pH - Recommended range for maximum activity
- Temperature - recommended range for maximum activity
- Working Concentration - dilution of the Enzyme (as supplied) to this level should give an acceptable reaction time.
- Substrate - substance to be reacted with the Enzyme, and appropriate concentration
- Product - substance produced by breakdown of the substrate
- Source - origin of the Enzyme
