This invention discloses a method and application for enhancing collagenase activity through amino acid induction, belonging to the field of bio-fermentation. This invention effectively enhances collagenase activity by exogenously adding amino acid inducers during the culture process, thereby significantly increasing the biohydrolysis rate of collagen. This method offers advantages such as high efficiency, environmental friendliness, economy, simple operation, mild culture conditions, and ease of scale-up production.

A composition comprising a polypeptide having collagenase activity, a polypeptide having collagenase activity and method of using said polypeptide for producing GPH-rich collagen tripeptides are provided.

The application discloses a preparation method of a tea fermentation product with anti-aging efficacy for cosmetics, and obtains a cosmetic yeast strain with cellulase, xylanase and lignin peroxidase production capacity through strain screening. The release of antioxidant and anti-aging substances in tea leaves is improved through fermentation and extraction of tea leaves by the preferred yeast strain, and the anti-aging performance of the fermentation product is further improved through the fermentation of gluconacetobacter kombuchia. Compared with conventional tea extracts, the tea fermentation product has more excellent performance in terms of antioxidant, elastase activity inhibition, collagenase activity inhibition, AGEs yield inhibition, human fibroblast protection and repair, and is suitable for use in skin care products such as essence, emulsion and cream with anti-aging efficacy.

The suggested classification name is grape Hanseniaspora uvarum. The lotus stem fermentation product is obtained by fermenting lotus stems by using the strain, and has a certain inhibitory effect on collagenase activity.

Described are compositions, in particular lyophilizates, containing proteolytic enzymes, and methods for producing the compositions. Typically these compositions contain one or more proteases with collagenase activity and a neutral protease, for example, thermolysin. The compositions are free of acetate salts. Surprisingly, such compositions can be dissolved in water more rapidly than lyophilized protease mixtures of the state of the art.

The present application relates to the field of biotechnology, and more particularly to a collagen extraction activity monitoring method based on fine enzymatic extraction technology, comprising: preparing a bimodal probe by labeling and modifying collagen with quantum dots and Raman tags; constructing a microfluidic monitoring system based on an integrated reaction chamber, a temperature control module, a pH monitoring module, and a signal acquisition module; mixing the sample to be detected with the bimodal probe, adding a structure protective agent, and then injecting the reaction chamber of the microfluidic detection system; synchronously collecting fluorescence signals and Raman signals through the signal acquisition module, determining whether to recalibrate the signal acquisition module based on the signal-to-noise ratio, and returning to step S2; and performing fusion analysis on the fluorescence signals and Raman signals to obtain collagenase activity, triple helix structure integrity, and enzymatic kinetics parameters. The present application solves the problem of being unable to accurately obtain collagenase activity and collagen triple helix structure integrity data in the fine enzymatic extraction scenario.
