Lysozyme Powder CAS 12650-88-3

What are the use of Lysozyme powder?

In the field of medicine, Lysozyme is mainly used for various mucositis symptoms such as sinusitis, chronic rhinitis, acute and chronic pharyngitis, lichen planus, oral ulcers, exudative otitis media, as well as dermatology such as herpes zoster, flat warts, chickenpox, etc. It is also used for asthmatic tracheitis, ulcerative colitis, mumps, etc. Lysozyme powder is more effective when used in combination with antibiotics.

Application in biotechnology: Lysozyme powder has the function of destroying bacterial cell wall structure. Treating G+bacteria with lysozyme can obtain protoplasts after destroying the cell wall, making it widely used in biotechnology and an essential tool enzyme for cell fusion operations in genetic engineering and cell engineering.

Application in aquatic and meat products: Based on the non-toxic and harmless characteristics of Lysozyme powder, as well as its ability to decompose G+cell walls, it can be used in aquatic and meat products to preserve and preserve their original nutritional content without loss; The combination of lysozyme, sodium chloride, and nitrite can extend the shelf life of meat products, and its preservative effect is better than when used alone; The experiment uses 0.05% lysozyme in combination with phytic acid polymerized phosphate, glycine, etc. as preservatives and preservation agents to extend the storage period of seafood and aquatic products.

Application in other foods: Cream cake is one of the foods that is prone to spoilage and deterioration. Adding Lysozyme powder to pastries can prevent microbial induced spoilage and deterioration; The application of lysozyme in food preservation is also highly effective. At the same time, based on the non-toxic, harmless, and health benefits of lysozyme, as well as its ability to resist infections, enhance the effectiveness of antibiotics, promote blood clotting, stop bleeding, and tissue regeneration, some people are now trying to use it as an additive in food to enhance its health benefits.

What is the mechanism of action of Lysozyme Powder?

Lysozyme powder has good decomposition effects on Gram positive bacteria, aerobic spore forming bacteria, Bacillus subtilis, and radiation resistant Micrococcus. It also has a certain degree of dissolution effect on Gram negative bacteria such as Escherichia coli, Streptococcus pneumoniae, and Vibrio parahaemolyticus. Lysozyme powder has a special function of decomposing peptidoglycans in bacterial cell walls. Lysozyme hydrolyzes the active site composed of glutamic acid at position 35 and aspartic acid at position 52 in its peptide bond, breaking the β -1,4-glycosidic bond between N-acetyl muratan (NAM) and N-acetylglucosamine (NAG) that make up the peptidoglycan molecules of microbial cell walls. This causes the cell to rupture due to osmotic pressure imbalance, leading to the dissolution of the bacterial cell wall and ultimately killing bacteria (especially cocci).

Conclusion：Conform with specification and qualified.

How to prepare lysozyme powder?

The preparation methods of lysozyme powder mainly include crystallization, ion exchange chromatography, and affinity chromatography. Lysozyme is widely present in higher animal tissues and secretions, plants, and various microorganisms, but its content is highest in fresh egg whites, so most commercial lysozyme is extracted and purified from egg whites.
