DuPont Nutrition & Biosciences has launched its latest enzyme solution for adjunct liquefaction: AMYLEX 6T. The enzyme enables numerous business gains for breweries and distilleries alike, according to DuPont, including the ability to expand into new segments with locally-sourced raw materials, improve productivity, maximize yield, ensure consistent quality and ultimately increase profitability. The move from […]
Experts have identified steps food firms can take to reduce the risk of Listeria contamination of frozen vegetables. The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) assessment focused on vegetables that are blanched – scalded in hot water or steam for a short time – before they are frozen. Companies blanch vegetables before freezing because it stops […]
Despite pressure building for the industry to slash sugar rates in their products, consumers still crave sweet flavors. Innovation in the cultures and enzymes space means these natural solutions are increasingly applied to reduce sugar, particularly in the dairy arena. The bonus here is that the final offering can tout the coveted clean label claim. […]
The food industry uses the enzyme microbial transglutaminase to extend the shelf life of foods. However, a recent study suggests that microbial transglutaminase may be responsible for the uptick in conditions involving gluten intolerance and gluten sensitivity, including celiac disease. The term ‘gluten’ is used to describe a family of proteins that occur naturally in […]
Researchers have discovered that deleting an enzyme crucial in fat regulation could increase the risk of cancer, inflammation and other diseases. Phosphatidic acid phosphatase, an enzyme discovered in 1957, determines whether the body’s phosphatidic acid will be used to create fat, or create the lipids in cell membranes. Scientists have previously agreed that controlling the […]
The first enzyme aimed at the relief of symptoms of gluten intolerance has been granted novel food approval by EFSA and can now be used in the European Union, says DSM. Tolerase G, launched by food and nutrition ingredients giants DSM, has been granted regulatory approval in Europe following its introduction into the US, Canadian, […]
Vitamin K is a fat soluble vitamin commonly found notably in leafy green vegetables, grass-fed cheese and butter. Widely known for playing an integral role in the blood clotting process, more recent research now suggests that vitamin K may also have a critical role in bone health. Studies suggest that this nutrient plays an integral […]
