Processing Aids
One way to achieve cost optimization is using processing aids to improve food yield under a variety of conditions. A processing aid is a substance used in the production of processed foods which may end up in the finished product but is not required to be labeled on the food product. Our food experts can offer you the right products to optimize your processing conditions.
Application for Enzymes
Enzymes are processing aids that play complex roles in food production. In simple terms, their job is to speed up chemical reactions. Over the years, humans have harnessed the power of different enzymes for a variety of food applications. Enzymes, for example, facilitate the fermentation process when making beer, yogurt, and cheese. Each enzyme has a unique three-dimensional shape with a highly specific reactive capability.
Brenntag Food & Nutrition has the breadth and knowledge of enzymes to assist in your food processing needs. Regardless of the functionality and application, we can supply your enzyme needs for vegetable and fruit processing, baking and milling, craft brewing and distilling, winemaking, and dairy and cheese processing.
