Unit Definitions
  • Bacterial Amylase ‐ One bacterial amylase unit (BAU) is defined as that quantity of enzyme which will dextrinize one milligram of starch per minute at pH 6.6 and 30°C.
  • Cellulase ‐ One cellulase unit (CU) is defined as the amount of activity that will produce a relative fluidity change of 1 in 5 minutes in a defined carboxymethyl cellulose substrate under the conditions of the assay (pH4.5 and 40°C).
  • Lipase‐ One unit of enzyme activity (FIP Unit) is defined as that quantity of a standard lipase preparation (Fungi Lipase‐International FIP Standard) that liberates the equivalent of 1μmol of fatty acid per minute from the Substrate Emulsion under the described assay conditions.
  • Protease -One bacterial protease unit (PC) is defined as that quantity of enzyme that that produces the equivalent of 1.5 mg per mL of l‐tyrosine per minute under the conditions of the assay.
