Considering the production cost and reutilization of bioresources,
protease production of marine wastes seems to be promising
approach. The production of inexpensive
proteinolytic enzymes not only solves environmental
problems, but also promotes the economic value and utilization
of marine wastes. This study fills a critical gap in the existing literature
and provides new insights into the protease enzymes. Based on our results, the protease purified from wastes L. vannamei has a
high stability toward temperature, pH, and salts. Kinetic and
thermodynamic parameters of the enzyme suggested that it may
be used commercially for the production of protein hydrolysate
in protein processing and detergent industries.
