Purifine LM
Phospholipase A2 for Enzymatic Degumming
Purifine® LM is a robust and thermostable enzyme that can be utilized directly in a water degumming process, with no (or minor) modifications. It is active at neutral pH and temperatures from 40 up to 80°C, meaning no pH adjustment, high shear mixing, or cooling of oil is required.
The results of the hydrolysis action of Purifine LM are lyso-phospholipids and FFA. As lyso-phospholipids are more hydrophilic than intact phospholipids, less oil is entrapped in gums, reducing gum volume and increasing oil recovery. Gums may also become easier to separate during centrifugation.
Benefits
• Can be applied in standard water degumming plants without extra CAPEX
• Increase oil recovery by reducing entrained oil in gums
• Hydrolysis of all phospholipid types, with preference for NHP (PA & PE)
• Board functional temperature range, 40-80 °C
• Neutral functional pH (no pH adjustment needed)

Purifine LM
Phospholipase A2 for Lecithin Modification
Purifine® LM has been developed for lecithin modification to produce enzymatic hydrolyzed lecithin. Purifine® LM converts phospholipids in crude lecithin as well as wet gums to lyso-phospholipids. Purifine® LM hydrolyzes all four phospholipids namely, phosphatidic acid (PA), phosphatidylcholine (PC), phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), and phosphatidylinositol (PI).
As a result of lecithin hydrolysis, lyso-lecithin is formed which has excellent oil-in-water emulsification capacity, improved water dispersibility, higher heat resistance, while keeping the nutritional characteristics of the lecithin.
Benefits
• Lyso-lecithin production without chemical addition
• Hydrolysis of all phospholipid types
• Minimized glycerophosphate formation
• Hydrolyzed lecithin is an excellent oil-in-water emulsifier
