Biocatalysts launches new protease

Biocatalysts Ltd broadens its dairy enzyme range with the introduction of Flavorpro? 937MDP, a non-animal protease with a de-bittering action when added to enzyme modified cheese processes. Due to its fungal origins this high performing enzyme is available kosher, Halal and vegetarian.

Flavorpro 937MDP is an exopeptidase preparation with low levels of endopeptidase activity. In enzyme modified cheese applications, the hydrolysis of cheese proteins by endopeptidases such as animal and bacterial proteases, can give rise to unwanted bitter flavours. This is due to the accumulation of small hydrophobic peptides. Exopeptidases, such as Flavorpro 937MDP can be used to control bitterness by removing these bitter-tasting peptides, according to the company.

Biocatalysts is a speciality enzyme manufacturer based in the United Kingdom.
