Earthworm peptide powder is a peptide-rich ingredient produced from earthworm protein through enzymatic hydrolysis, filtration, concentration, spray drying, and pulverization. It is used as a stable B2B ingredient for nutritional, functional, and formulation applications.
9. Is earthworm peptide powder an active enzyme product like lumbrokinase?
No. Earthworm peptide powder is produced through enzymatic hydrolysis, but the finished powder is not positioned as an active enzyme ingredient. It is a stable peptide ingredient mainly used for nutritional, functional, and formulation applications. Lumbrokinase, by contrast, is a fibrinolytic enzyme product with activity specifications that require specific assay methods.
10. What is lumbrokinase?
Lumbrokinase is a fibrinolytic enzyme product extracted from earthworms. It is commonly used as a high-value enzyme ingredient for dietary supplement, nutraceutical, formulation, and research-related applications. Activity level, assay method, and COA data are important when sourcing lumbrokinase.
11. Which product should I choose for my formulation?
The suitable product depends on your application. Earthworm protein powder is suitable when a protein-rich earthworm ingredient is required. Earthworm peptide powder is suitable when a stable peptide-rich ingredient is preferred. Lumbrokinase is suitable when the buyer specifically requires a fibrinolytic enzyme ingredient with activity specifications.
Lumbrokinase Activity & Assay
12. How is lumbrokinase activity tested?
Lumbrokinase activity can be tested by fibrin plate assay or other applicable methods depending on the testing system. Because different laboratories may use different assay conditions and activity units, buyers should confirm the test method when comparing results from different suppliers.
13. What is the difference between IU/mg, FU/g, LKU, and U?
IU/mg, FU/g, LKU, and U are different activity expressions used in enzyme-related testing and product documentation. These units are not always directly interchangeable because they may depend on assay method, substrate, standard curve, and laboratory conditions. When sourcing lumbrokinase, buyers should compare both the activity value and the testing method.
14. Why can lumbrokinase activity results vary between laboratories?
Lumbrokinase activity results may vary because of differences in assay method, substrate, incubation conditions, standard reference, sample preparation, and unit calculation. For this reason, we recommend that buyers review the COA and testing method together rather than comparing only the numerical activity value.
