What it is

Enzymes are proteins that speed up chemical reactions. They are found naturally in all living things and are often produced commercially using microorganisms like bacteria or fungi through fermentation.

Why it's used

Enzymes are used in food processing to improve texture, flavor, and shelf life. They can help break down proteins and carbohydrates, clarify juices, or aid in cheese making.

Health notes

Enzymes used in food are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated many food enzymes. They are typically present in very small amounts in the final food product and are not expected to cause adverse health effects when consumed at typical levels.

Allergen info

Enzymes themselves are proteins and can be derived from various sources, including major allergens like milk, soy, or wheat. However, the final enzyme product often contains very low levels of these source materials. Manufacturers should be consulted for specific allergen information.
