What it is

Enzyme blends are mixtures of enzymes, which are proteins that speed up chemical reactions. They are typically produced through fermentation using microorganisms like bacteria, yeast, or fungi, and then purified. These enzymes can be derived from various sources, including plants and animals, depending on the specific blend.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use enzyme blends to improve food texture, enhance flavor, or aid in processing. For example, they can help break down starches in baked goods to improve dough consistency or tenderize meats. They are found in a variety of processed foods, including baked goods, dairy products, and meat products.

Health notes

Enzyme blends are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for their intended use in food. Enzymes are proteins that are digested like other proteins in the body and are not typically absorbed intact. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated enzymes and generally consider them safe when used as food ingredients. There is no widespread scientific controversy regarding the consumption of enzyme blends at typical dietary levels.

Allergen info

Enzyme blends are not derived from any of the nine major allergens. Gluten is also not typically a component of enzyme blends unless specifically added or if the source organism was grown on a gluten-containing medium and not sufficiently purified.
