What it is

Enzymes are proteins that speed up chemical reactions. They are naturally found in all living organisms, including plants, animals, and microbes. In food production, enzymes are often produced through fermentation using microorganisms like bacteria or fungi, or they can be extracted from plant or animal sources.

Why it's used

Enzymes are used in baking to improve dough handling, texture, and shelf life. They can help break down starches into sugars, which aids in browning and flavor development. Enzymes are also used in dairy products to aid in cheese making and in fruit juice production to improve clarity.

Health notes

Enzymes used in food are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. They are proteins that are broken down during digestion, similar to other proteins in food. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated enzymes, and they are widely used globally. There is no evidence to suggest adverse health effects from consuming foods containing these enzymes at typical levels.

Allergen info

Enzymes themselves are not typically considered major allergens. However, if enzymes are derived from sources like wheat, soy, or milk, those allergens could be present in the final product. Gluten is not inherently an allergen but is a concern for individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity; if derived from wheat, gluten may be present.
