Biocatalysts Creates Enzyme Hydrolysed Vegetable Protein with Lower Salt Content

According to the company, not only does this system offer an end product with a lower salt content, it also offers a more natural product containing no carcinogens and lower levels of monosodium glutaminate.

Jan 23 2012 --- Biocatalysts ‘Soya Cascade System’ has been launched as an enzyme to hydrolyse vegetable proteins which will give an end product with a lower salt content.

The cascade system consisting of Promod 278P, 279P and 280P can be used to produce savoury flavouring from soya protein. The system consist of a series of endoproteases and exopeptidases from different sources, with varying substrate specificities and pH optima which, in combination, convert soya protein to a highly modified low molecular weight hydrolysate with low bitterness.

According to the company, not only does this system offer an end product with a lower salt content, it also offers a more natural product containing no carcinogens and lower levels of monosodium glutaminate.
