Report description

On almost a daily basis, new developments such as these in the field of enzymology are emerging from research labs around the world. As you know, enzymes are used in foods and beverages to improve processing efficiency and the quality of finished products. But enzymes have a greater potential.

Food Technology Intelligence, Inc., publisher of the international monthly newsletter Emerging Food R&D Report, offers a revised and updated in-depth report analyzing several new developments in enzyme research. The report will give you a first-hand look at many commercially-viable enzymatic-based processes that have practical food applications. Many of these technologies are available for licensing from their developers; in other cases, scientists are seeking industrial support to help commercialize them in the near term.

Why all the interest in enzymes? New advances in enzymatic processing hold even more significant potential for the food industry. For example, biocatalysis, the use of enzymes to cause precise modifications of substances, has several advantages over alternative chemical processing.

Enzymes operate under mild reactions and afford high specificity, yielding purer products than those that are the result of chemical synthesis. Biocatalysis often affects natural flavors and colors less than nonenzymatic processes do. Of course, foods often contain naturally occurring enzymes that cause the foods to degrade. It may be possible to develop ingredients that inhibit his enzymatic activity and improve shelf life and other sensory qualities of a product.
