Enzymes for Food Manufacturing

Enzymes are used in many aspects of food production, both on an artisan level and large scale manufacturing.

Enzymes are used in many aspects of food production, both on an artisan level and large scale manufacturing. An enzyme is a protein molecule that is a biological catalyst. The three main functions of an enzyme are:

1. Increase the rate of the reaction

2. Enzymes act specifically with only one substrate to produce outcomes. This is why if a human is missing one enzyme the outcome can be disastrous.

3.Enzymes are regulated from a state of low activity to high activity and vice versa
