What it is

Enzymes are proteins that speed up chemical reactions. They are found naturally in all living things, including plants, animals, and microbes. For food production, enzymes are often produced through fermentation using yeast, bacteria, or fungi.

Why it's used

Enzymes are used in food processing to improve texture, flavor, and shelf life. They can help break down starches into sugars, tenderize meat, or clarify juices. You might find them in baked goods, dairy products, and processed meats.

Health notes

Enzymes used in food are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. They are typically broken down during digestion and are not expected to cause harm at normal consumption levels. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated enzymes, and EFSA has also assessed their safety for use in food.

Allergen info

Enzymes themselves are not major allergens. However, if they are produced using microbial cultures derived from major allergens like wheat or soy, trace amounts could potentially be present. Gluten is not typically associated with enzymes unless a specific allergen-containing source is used in their production.
