I just remembered hyaluronidase has a minor application in the food industry as a meat tenderizer (in place of or in conjunction with papain, I don't know).
Hi Hugo,
Hyaluronidases are a family of enzymes that catalyse the degradation of hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronidases are used largely in pharmaceuticals.
The SDS for hyaluronidase (copy attached) recommends the use of nitrile gloves when handling, along with safety glasses, and respiratory protection when dusts are generated.
Here is a reference regarding the pharmaceutical uses of hyaluronidase.
Hi all,
We're currently introducing Hyaluronidase in my current plant. This is a new substance to me. Does anyone:
1) Have any advice on safe handling of this?
2) Know of useful literature, case studies etc.?
Many thanks!
Hugo
