Application

Pancreatin from porcine pancreas has been used:
  • for a study to assess the treatment of steatorrhea by lipase supplementation therapy[1]
  • for a study to investigate treatment options for pancreatic diabetes in patients experiencing the decompensated stage of chronic pancreatitis[2]
  • to safely and effectively remove formalin-fixed tissues from arterial grafts without causing structural damage and loss in fiber integrity [3]
  • to assess cleavage by digestive enzymes.
  • for in vitro digestibility analysis and to test the sensitivities of cellulolytic bacteria inhibitors.[4]
  • along with amyloglucosidase for the in vitro digestion of starch in food samples.[5]

Biochem/physiol Actions

Pancreatin contains enzymatic components including trypsin, amylase and lipase, ribonuclease, and protease, produced by the exocrine cells of the porcine pancreas. This combination of enzymes allows it to hydrolyze proteins, starch and fats. Pancreatin will convert not less than 25 times its weight of potato starch into soluble carbohydrates in 5 minutes in water at 40°C, will digest not less than 25 times its weight of casein in 60 minutes at pH 7.5 at 40°C and will release not less than microequivalents of acid per min per mg pancreatin from olive oil at pH 9.0 at 37°C.

  1. units of pancreatin cas number 8049-47-6

    1 answer
    1. This product meets 4X the minimum USP specifications. According to the USP monograph for Pancreatin, the 1X minimum specification is 25 USP units amylase, 2 USP units lipase, and 25 USP units protease per milligram. The calculated protease activity for the 4X preparation then, would be at least 100 units per milligram. This is a calculated value based on the USP monograph and are not reported separately on the Certificate of Analysis.

  4. As per USP: Pancreatin contains, in each mg, not less than 25 USP Units of protease activity. I assume that product P1750 contains minimum 100 USP units of protease activity in each mg. What is the maximum USP units of protease activity in P1750 ?

    1 answer
    1. Yes, this is correct. To meet the USP specifications, the protease activity will be less than 100 USP Units/mg.
