What it is

Enzymes are proteins that speed up chemical reactions. Enzymes from egg white are typically produced using methods that isolate and purify enzymes from egg white, or through fermentation using genetically modified microorganisms.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use these enzymes to improve texture, dough conditioning, or as a leavening agent in baked goods. They can also help stabilize emulsions and prevent unwanted changes in food products.

Health notes

Enzymes used in food are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. They are proteins that are broken down during digestion and are not expected to cause adverse health effects at typical consumption levels. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated enzymes for food use, and they are widely used globally.

Allergen info

Enzymes derived from egg white are considered an egg product and are therefore a major allergen. Gluten is not typically present.
