Question

Application of enzymes in food industries

Answer 1

Enzymes play an important role in the food industry in both traditional and novel products. The ancient processes of brewing and cheese-making rely on enzyme activity at various stages of manufacture. In brewing, the malting of grain develops amylase and protease activities, which then act on the starch and protein reserves of the grain during mashing to produce fermentable sugars and other nutrients on which yeast can grow.
