Enzymatic degumming is a physical refining process that uses a phospholipase to convert nonhydratable phosphatides into fully hydratable lysolecithin, which facilitates gum removal. With Phospholipase A2, you can obtain higher oil yields and significantly reduce your costs. As an A2 phospholipase, it mainly acts on the Sn-2 phthaloyl group of phospholipids to obtain fatty acids and lysophospholipids. It is easier to interact with non-hydratable phospholipids, the reaction product is more stable, and the unit efficiency is higher. The products of the reaction, lysophospholipids and glyceroylphospholipids, have strong hydrophilicity and can be removed by simple hydration.
Functions of Phospholipase A2
1.Improve the yield of refined oil, which can be increased by 1%-2%, and the economic benefits are obvious;
2.One-step degumming, the phosphorus content can be reduced to a sufficiently low level;
3.Reduce the consumption of acid, alkali and water, safe and environmentally friendly;
4.For some vegetable oils that need to use excess acid and alkali to remove gum, it is more practical and more economical.
Dosage of Phospholipase A2
Recommended dosage is 50-200ppm by weight of substrate.
