enzymes make the difference

One area of remarkable advancement in the food industry is the use of enzymes to improve manufactures food products. Checking into the use of enzymes in cheddar cheese, one thing led to another and I eventually stumbled over Novozymes, a Danish company that researches, designs, and manufactures almost 50% of the enzymes added to food products worldwide.

In food manufacturing, enzymes are most often added to baked goods.

In the biofuels industry, enzymes are used to improve the efficiency of chemical conversion of raw materials to finished product. Novozymes is engaged in second generation biofuels research and application.
