Protamine has obvious performance advantages and broad prospects for industry development

Protamine is a sulfate of an alkaline protein. It is a white or off-white powder that is slightly soluble in water. It is mainly found in the nuclei of mature sperm cells of fish (such as salmon, trout, herring, etc.) as a nucleus that binds to DNA. Protamine is present.

Protamine can be used as a preservative in the food industry. Compared with synthetic chemical preservatives, protamine has the advantages of high safety, strong antibacterial ability, wide antiseptic range, and no toxic side effects. It is widely used in the preservative of cakes, aquatic products, seasonings and other products. As the national economy improves and health awareness continues to increase, protamine, as a high-quality, low-cost, safe and healthy natural preservative, will have a broader market.

Protamine plays an important role in the field of medicine and health care. First of all, protamine itself has the functions of lowering blood pressure, enhancing immunity, inhibiting tumors, and strengthening liver function, etc., and can be used in the production of health care products; secondly, protamine can improve human liver function and affect the release of human insulin, and can be used in medium-acting Preparation of antidotes for insulin and heparin; in addition, protamine injection is used to prevent massive bleeding during cardiac surgery and is extremely irreplaceable.

According to the “China Protamine Industry Application Market Demand and Development Opportunities Research Report 2023-2028” released by the Industrial Research Center, As the domestic protamine industry continues to develop, production technology becomes more mature, production costs and prices gradually decrease, and people’s attention to food safety continues to increase, the health and wellness industry continues to develop, and the state’s supervision of food additives continues to strengthen, protamine Its efficacy and role have received more and more attention and recognition from the market, and its development prospects are becoming brighter.

Since protamine raw materials are greatly affected by natural factors and cannot be synthesized artificially, they can only be extracted from fish sperm. Therefore, most protamine production companies in my country are concentrated in Zhejiang, Weihai, Shandong and other regions. At present, the main domestic protamine production companies include Shanghai No. 1 Biochemical Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., Shandong Rongcheng Hongde Marine Biotechnology Co., Ltd., Zhoushan Fengyu Sanli Marine Biofertilizer Co., Ltd., Zhejiang Ognaco Marine Biotechnology Co., Ltd., Ningbo Zhouyu Marine Biotechnology Co., Ltd., etc.

At present, the domestic protamine industry is in a period of rapid development and lacks relatively uniform and complete standards. More and more companies are entering the market driven by market dividends, resulting in uneven product quality and chaotic prices on the market. The industry development environment needs to be improved. .

Industry analysts said that with the continuous improvement of national health awareness, the continuous strengthening of food safety awareness, and the continuous updating of production technology, fish essence The application fields of protein are constantly expanding, and the industry has good development prospects. At present, the protamine industry lacks the leadership of leading enterprises, industry standards need to be unified, product influence needs to be improved, and the industrial chain system needs to be improved.
