One USP Unit of amylase activity is contained in the amount of Pancreatin that decomposes starch at an initial rate such that 0.16 micro Eq of glycosidic linkage is hydrolysed per minute under the conditions of the Assay for Amylase activity
Lipase activity
>= 2 USP U/mg
Unit definition for Lipase activity
One USP Unit of lipase activity is contained in the amount of Pancreatin that liberates 1.0 microEq of acid per minute at a pH 9.0 and 37°C under the conditions of the Assay for Lipase activity
Protease activity
>= 25 USP U/mg
Unit definition for Protease activity
One USP Unit of protease activity is contained in the amount of Pancreatin that under the conditions of the Assay for Protease activity hydrolyses casein at an initial rate such that there is liberated per minute an amount of peptides not precipitated by trichloroacetic acid that gives the same absorbance at 280 nm as 15 nmol of tyrosine
