Lactase Enzyme Activity, pH Stability and Heat Resistance Testing for Encapsulated Powders
Project Description
We are seeking a qualified laboratory to perform analytical testing on two encapsulated lactase enzyme powder samples. The objective is to evaluate enzyme activity, stability, and performance under simulated processing and gastrointestinal conditions. Required testing includes:
Initial lactase activity determination (FCC/ALU)
Heat and process stability testing
Acidic condition survival assessment
Simulated gastric pH exposure testing
Post-gastric pH activity evaluation for a delayed-release formulation
Measurement of remaining lactase activity following each test condition
Quantification of enzyme activity released into buffer, where applicable
Calculation of percentage activity retained after exposure to each condition
Please provide details regarding your testing capabilities and methodologies, sample quantity requirements, pricing, estimated turnaround times, and reporting format.
