Enzymes Marketed as Cost Effective Solution

Biocatalysts offers a wide range of products that can be used by companies to achieve 2 major benefits, increasing product yield and correspondingly reducing waste, within many market sectors including beverage and protein.

26/11/08 As companies cast around for ways of saving money during the pending recession, it would seem unlikely that spending more is high on their agenda. However, for an increasing number of companies spending a little, to achieve a good ROI, is exactly what they are doing. Senior executives are setting targets for cutting costs and reducing waste and are looking at extra-ordinary methods of achieving this.

Biocatalysts Ltd, a speciality enzyme company based in the UK, offers a wide range of products that can be used by companies to achieve 2 major benefits, increasing product yield and correspondingly reducing waste, within many market sectors including beverage and protein.

Fruit processors macerating whole fruit will want to ensure they extract every last millilitre of juice from their crop and using enzymes to achieve this is a very cost effective option. Yield can increase as much as 20% but you can also achieve increases in anthocyanin levels which has an effect on colour and therefore profitability of some end products.

Enzymes can also be used to upgrade waste streams to produce valuable second streams of income as demonstrated by the brewing industry.

As both economic and environmental targets become more stringent, speciality enzymes provide a hitherto unexplored method of achieving these objectives and Biocatalysts offers full technical and commercial support to companies looking to investigate their options.
