And Enzymes And Powdered Cellulose

Enzymes are proteins that speed up chemical reactions. They are often produced by microorganisms like bacteria or fungi through fermentation. Powdered cellulose is a plant-based fiber made from the cell walls of plants, typically wood pulp or cotton.

Enzymes are used in baking to improve dough handling, texture, and shelf life. Powdered cellulose is used as an anti-caking agent to prevent powders from clumping and as a thickener or stabilizer in processed foods.

Enzymes used in food processing are generally considered safe by the FDA and are not required to be listed separately if they are not functional in the final product. Powdered cellulose is recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as an anti-caking agent and stabilizer. Both are common food components and are not associated with adverse health effects at typical consumption levels.
