Fruit and Vegetable processing would not be economically viable and environmentally friendly without the aid of enzymes.

Biocatalysts has an extensive carbohydrase product portfolio for fruit and vegetable processing. Our enzymes hydrolyse the complex cell wall material from plants to help our customers achieve their specific requirements in a cost effective way.

Not only do we know our products’ main activities but we also know all the side activities present in them, as well as their specific effect on plant cell wall carbohydrates. This allows us to recommend the most suitable enzymes for each application in order to solve the specific challenges that our customers face.

There are multiple benefits that enzymes provide to fruit and vegetable processors. Biocatalysts has developed the know-how to mimic methods used in the fruit and vegetable industry to measure the benefits that enzymes provide during the production of high-quality beverages. These include juice yield, viscosity, filtration, haze and dissolved solids.

However, our product portfolio goes beyond beverage production and therefore we have also developed capabilities to quantify fibre production as well as botanical extracts such as anthocyanin.
