When developing new enzyme products for use in food processing applications it is essential to test the enzyme system under commercially-relevant conditions. At Biocatalysts we have the ability to reproduce many commercial processes at small scale. Using this approach we can quickly test novel enzyme systems to ensure they are providing the required benefits that the customer expects. We understand that no small-scale process can truly reflect large scale production, but a positive result under small scale evaluation provides confidence to move to process scale-up. Our small scale process expertise includes:

• Production of Enzyme Modified Cheese
• Production of Lipolysed Butter Oil
• Production of whey hydrolysate
• Filtration testing for fruit and vegetable processing
• Determination of juice yield for fruit juice processing
• Egg processing
• Gluten hydrolysis processes
• Protein hydrolysis processes

These processes can be coupled with a variety of analytical, and performance measurement techniques to ensure the enzyme system delivers optimum benefits for the customer.
