Introduction | Lysozyme is a glycosidic hydrolase extracted from egg white and refined using microfiltration, ultrafiltration, and vacuum freeze-drying technology. It consists of a single peptide chain made up of 129 amino acid residues from 18 different types, with a molecular weight of approximately 14,000 Da. Lysozyme can break down the cell walls of Gram-positive bacteria, serving a sterilizing function. It is widely used in food preservation, pharmaceutical processing, scientific research, and other related fields. |
Characteristics | Soluble in water, the aqueous solution is a clear liquid and insoluble in ether and acetone. |
Application |
Corrosion and Preservation By decomposing the bacterial cell wall, lysozyme has a decomposing effect on Gram-positive bacteria such as Bacillus subtilis and Radiation-resistant Micrococcus. It also has a definite degree of lysis effect on Gram-negative bacteria such as Escherichia coli, common Aspergillus, and Vibrio parahaemolyticus. Lysozyme has no adverse effect on human cells without a cell wall and is widely used in preserving aquatic products, meat, cakes, sake, wine, and beverages. Dairy Processing Adding a certain amount of lysozyme to fresh milk or milk powder not only preserves freshness but also kills intestinal spoilage cocci. It increases the anti-infection power of the intestine, promotes the proliferation of intestinal bifidobacteria and lactic acid bacteria, and promotes the digestion and utilization of casein. This is often used in infant dairy products and food. Pharmaceutical Industry Lysozyme, as a non-specific immune factor existing in normal body fluids and tissues, can be used as a natural anti-infective substance with a bactericidal effect. It has functions such as antibacterial, antiviral, hemostatic, anti-swelling, pain relief, and accelerating tissue recovery. Clinically used for chronic rhinitis, acute and chronic pharyngitis, oral ulcers, chickenpox, herpes zoster, and flat warts. It can also be used in combination with antibacterial drugs to treat various bacterial and viral infections. Daily Chemical Industry The sterilization principle of lysozyme is safe, non-toxic, and harmless to the human body. It can be added to facial masks and skin care products for antibacterial and freshness effects, as well as an anti-inflammatory effect on the skin. When added to toothpaste, it promotes swelling and recovery for swollen gums. Bioengineering Lysozyme has the function of destroying the structure of the bacterial cell wall. The enzyme is used to treat G+ bacteria to get protoplasm. Therefore, lysozyme is an essential tool enzyme for cell fusion operations in genetic engineering and cell engineering. |
