Enzymes for botanical and seaweed extraction. Select activities, screen your feedstock and build a process around extract quality.
START WITH THE APPLICATION
Plant or marine material, composition, target extract, solvent system, solids, pH, temperature and analytical method.
Cellulase and pectinase candidates target cell-wall components in plant materials. Screen an aqueous pretreatment against your existing extraction method, measuring the desired fraction as well as total yield.
Cell-wall accessibility · extract profile · filtration
Discuss this application →Brown, red and green seaweeds contain different polysaccharides. Match the enzyme to the material and decide whether to release an intact fraction or deliberately hydrolyse a polymer.
Species · target polymer · molecular size
Discuss this application →Evaluate target-compound recovery, dry solids, colour and unwanted co-extraction. Include separation and enzyme termination in trials before committing to scale-up.
Purity · separation · reproducibility
Discuss this application →A PRACTICAL ROUTE FORWARD
Review these development routes with our technical team. The selected product, grade, activity, quantity and any formulation work are specified in your quotation.
Discuss cellulase and pectinase ingredients for a defined plant matrix. We specify the activity, grade and operating window in the quotation.
Discuss botanical extraction →Send the species, preparation method and target fraction. Specialist activities and custom studies are reviewed and quoted to scope.
Discuss marine extraction →Build around the feedstock and analytical endpoint. BotanicalExtract and MarineExtract are proposed development labels; composition and supply follow a defined project specification.
Discuss a tailored blend →AVAILABLE INGREDIENTS FROM OUR MAIN STORE
For defined enzyme ingredients, review pack sizes, specifications and current prices at S&T.
Check grade and application suitability before ordering. Single ingredients are not ready-to-use application formulations.
Tell us the application, required quantity and destination. Product availability, activity, grade, documentation and pricing are agreed in your quote.
DEFINE SUCCESS BEFORE THE TRIAL
Compare like with like. Agree the method, controls and decision criteria before scaling up.
A USEFUL FIRST STEP
Free samples are available for qualified commercial trials after an application review. Sample selection, quantity, delivery and the trial method are agreed before dispatch.
Plan the next step ↗Plant or marine material, composition, target extract, solvent system, solids, pH, temperature and analytical method.
Include the material, scale, pH, temperature, contact time and any existing process chemicals.
Choose the comparison, controls and measurements that will guide your next decision.
BEFORE YOU START
No. Compare composition and unwanted co-extraction alongside the recovered quantity.
No. Marine species contain different polymers. Identify the material before choosing candidate activities.
Custom extraction screening and development are quoted to scope. Qualified commercial ingredient samples can be reviewed separately.
Cellulase and pectinase are common screening candidates for cellulose- and pectin-containing plant matrices. Selection depends on accessibility, the target extract and process conditions; a blend must be tested on the actual feedstock.
Yes. An activity that releases a fraction may also reduce its molecular size. Specify whether the objective is intact-polymer recovery or controlled hydrolysis, then measure the relevant molecular-size and composition endpoints.
Send your application, required quantity, specifications and delivery destination. We will review a suitable supply or development route and provide a quotation.
