One unit (U) is defined as the amount of enzyme which can hydrolyze one micromole of 100% hydrogen peroxide in one minute at 30º C and at pH 7.0. The acceptance criteria for all enzyme assays is: NLT 85.0% and NMT 115.0% of the declared units of enzyme activity.
We hereby declare that, to the best of our knowledge, this product was not produced from or with GMO plant material.
Statement Option #1: Pure Single Ingredient This 100% single ingredient does not contain or use any additives, preservatives, carriers and/or processing aids in its manufacturing process. Statement Option #2: Multiple Ingredients Must include all/any additional sub ingredients contained in and/or used in its manufacturing process.
We hereby declare that, to the best of our knowledge, this product is gluten-free and was not manufactured with any ingredients containing gluten.
This product does not contain any trans fats.Catalase is a common enzyme found in nearly all living organisms exposed to oxygen (such as microbe, plants, and animals). It catalyzes the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide to water and oxygen. It is a very important enzyme in protecting the cell from oxidative damage by reactive oxygen species (ROS). Likewise, catalase has one of the highest turnover numbers of all enzymes; one catalase molecule can convert millions of hydrogen peroxide molecules to water and oxygen each second.
The pH optimum is 5.0 with a stability range of 4.0 to 7.0. The optimum temperature is 55ºC with a stability range of 45ºC to 55ºC.
We hereby confirm that, to the best of our knowledge, this product is free of BSE/TSE.
We hereby declare that, to the best of our knowledge, this product has not been tested on animals.
We hereby confirm that this product has been certified to Kosher standards.
We hereby confirm that this product has been certified to Vegan standards.

- Catalase is used in the food industry to remove hydrogen peroxide from milk used to make cheese.
- Catalase is also used in food packaging to prevent food from being oxidized.
- In the textile industry, catalase is used to remove hydrogen peroxide from textiles to ensure that the finished products do not contain peroxide.
- Used in contact lens cleaning: After the lens is soaked in the detergent containing hydrogen peroxide, the residual hydrogen peroxide is removed by catalase before use.
