Product Name: Alpha Galactosidase
Synonyms: Alpha-D-galactoside galactohydrolase, EC 3.2.1.22
Recommended Uses: Industrial enzyme for food processing, dietary supplements, research
Supplier: Manufacturer and distributor contact details required on actual shipping label
Emergency Telephone: Reach out to national poison control or supplier for urgent product safety guidance
Classification: Not classified as hazardous according to GHS standards
Potential Health Effects: Dust can irritate eyes, skin, and respiratory tract; those with known allergies to enzyme proteins may develop sensitization
Label Elements: No pictograms required under regular use; signal word “Warning” for sensitizing potential
Hazard Statements: May cause allergic skin or respiratory reaction in sensitive individuals
Precautionary Statements: Minimize dust generation, use PPE, avoid contact with skin and eyes, never ingest or inhale intentionally
Chemical Name: Alpha Galactosidase
Enzyme Concentration: Typically formulated at less than 1% with diluents such as maltodextrin, sodium chloride, or microcrystalline cellulose making up the bulk
CAS Number: 9032-75-1
Active Ingredient: Fungal- or bacterial-derived alpha galactosidase protein
Impurities: Residual fermentation byproducts, trace microbial proteins possible, no known carcinogenic impurities based on food-grade manufacturing standards
Inhalation: Move person to fresh air, provide oxygen if breathing becomes difficult, get medical attention for any sustained symptoms
Skin Contact: Wash area thoroughly with soap and water, remove contaminated clothing, seek medical advice if irritation persists
Eye Contact: Flush eyes with running water for at least 15 minutes, lift eyelids occasionally, consult physician for persistent redness or pain
Ingestion: Rinse mouth, drink water to dilute, do not induce vomiting unless instructed by a medical professional, get medical assistance for discomfort or allergic response
Note to Doctor: Allergic individuals may experience bronchospasm or skin reactions; treat symptomatically and supportively
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Water spray, dry chemical, foam, carbon dioxide can all be used
Specific Hazards: Fine powder may create combustible dust atmosphere in air; decomposition under fire yields carbon oxides, nitrogen oxides
Firefighting Instructions: Avoid inhaling smoke or fumes, firefighters should use self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing
Explosion Data: Fine enzyme powder dispersed in air poses possible dust explosion risk in confined spaces
Hazardous Combustion Products: Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, nitrogen compounds
Personal Precautions: Limit dust formation, ventilate area, use appropriate respiratory protection if airborne dust is generated
Spill Response: Scoop up product mechanically without creating dust, clean contaminated surfaces with water, avoid sweeping dry enzyme residue
Environmental Precautions: Prevent runoff to sewers or surface water to avoid potential enzyme activity in ecosystem
Disposal: Collect spillage in marked containers for proper waste disposal, follow local regulations for enzyme waste
Handling: Operate with good industrial hygiene, minimize airborne dust, wash hands after use, keep containers tightly sealed when not in use
Safe Storage: Cool, dry, well-ventilated facility away from strong acids and oxidizers, avoid direct sunlight and sources of ignition
Incompatible Materials: Strong oxidizers, strong acids
Special Precautions: Avoid processing conditions that generate dust, use local exhaust ventilation whenever possible, do not eat or drink near this enzyme
Occupational Exposure Limits: No specific OSHA or ACGIH exposure limit, general limit of 0.00006 mg/m³ for enzyme proteins may apply in some regions
Engineering Controls: Use local exhaust, maintain negative pressure ventilation in work space, provide handwashing stations
Personal Protective Equipment: NIOSH-approved N95 respirator or equivalent, gloves resistant to chemicals, safety goggles, lab coat or coverall
Hygiene Measures: No eating, drinking, or smoking in work area, change out of contaminated clothing promptly
Appearance: Fine, pale yellow to off-white powder
Odor: Nearly odorless to slightly musty
Solubility: Disperses in water
pH: Varies between 3–6 (1% aqueous solution, typical supplier formulation)
Melting Point: Not available, decomposes before melting
Boiling Point: Not applicable (protein denatures before boiling)
Flash Point: Not applicable
Vapor Pressure: Not applicable
Bulk Density: Approximately 0.3–0.6 g/cm³
Stability: Stable at recommended storage conditions
Stability: Stable under normal temperature and dry conditions
Decomposition: Degrades under high heat or acidic/alkaline extremes, loses activity above 60°C
Hazardous Reactions: May react vigorously with strong oxidizing agents; releases gases on decomposition
Conditions to Avoid: Excess moisture, extreme temperatures, open flames, static-electric charging
Incompatible Materials: Strong oxidizers, acids
Acute Toxicity: No acute oral or dermal toxicity known from food-grade enzyme preparations
Skin and Eye Irritation: Possible mild irritant to mucous membranes, especially eyes
Respiratory Sensitization: Occupational exposure may trigger asthma-like symptoms in susceptible individuals after repeated contact
Carcinogenicity: Not listed as carcinogenic by IARC, NTP, or OSHA
Mutagenicity: No evidence found in standard mutagenicity testing
Reproductive Toxicity: No studies indicate reproductive effects in humans or animals at normal use levels
Ecotoxicity: Enzyme readily biodegrades in natural environments, low toxicity to aquatic and soil organisms expected
Persistence and Degradability: Biodegradable protein, does not bioaccumulate or persist in environment
Bioaccumulative Potential: Negligible, rapid breakdown by microbial communities
Mobility in Soil: Water soluble, may move with surface water but becomes inactivated by soil microorganisms
Product Disposal: Dispose of contents according to local, regional, and federal regulations; enzyme can be incinerated or landfilled with routine organic industrial waste
Packaging Disposal: Rinse thoroughly before recycling or disposal; contaminated containers go to landfill with non-hazardous waste
Special Handling: Do not discharge product into natural waterways, minimize dust and airborne dispersal during waste processing
UN Number: Not assigned
Proper Shipping Name: Non-hazardous enzyme preparation
Transport Hazard Class: Not regulated by ADR, IATA, IMDG
Packing Group: Not applicable
Environmental Hazards: Not a marine pollutant
Transport Precautions: Keep sealed and protected from moisture, temperature extremes; secure outer packaging to avoid rupture in transit
Safety, Health, and Environmental Regulations: Not regulated as hazardous under major international chemical directives (OSHA, REACH, TSCA)
Labelling Requirements: Industrial product labeling, proper identity, and caution on sensitization required for workplace use
Inventory Status: Listed on US TSCA, EU EINECS/ELINCS, Canadian DSL, Japanese ENCS, and Australian AICS as enzyme protein
Other Provisions: Workers handling bulk enzyme products require annual health monitoring and workplace risk management plan in many food and chemical facilities
