What it is
Enzymes are proteins that speed up chemical reactions. They are naturally found in living organisms, including plants, animals, and microbes. In food production, enzymes are often produced through fermentation using specific microorganisms.
Why it's used
Enzymes are used in food manufacturing to improve texture, flavor, and processing efficiency. They can act as dough conditioners in baked goods, help clarify juices, or break down proteins and fats. Common foods include dairy products, baked goods, and processed fruits and vegetables.
Health notes
Enzymes used in food processing are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. They are typically broken down during digestion and are not expected to have significant health effects at the levels found in food. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated enzymes, and they are widely used globally.
Allergen info
Enzymes themselves are not typically considered major allergens. However, if an enzyme is derived from a source that is a major allergen (like milk or soy), that source may need to be declared.
