Enzymes & food Technology

ACTIVA

• -An innovative enzyme for the meat, fish &
• Dairy industries.
• -It is brand of transglutaminase which is
• Is enzyme that occur widely in nature .
• -It has been used successfully by the
• European & Japanese meat, fish, dairy
• Industries for a number of years.

-Activa catalyses the formation of stable , fine protein network by creating covalent bonds between 2 amino acid (glutamine &lysine ) so called (G-L) bonds, these bonds are heat resistant.

Application:

• -In fish, seafood, meat industries :
• Used to bind pieces of fish or meat
• Together for :
• -Portion control .
• -Add value to meat off cuts.
• So Lead To :
• No need to use heating, freezing for
• Binding.
• Possible to slice the recombined meat in
• The row state.
• Easy to handle, no effect on flavor.

-ACTIVA is used to improve the structure of fish, cooked meats, hams& sausages. -standardizing texture. -improving slice ability . -improvement to breaking strength. -Adding more juiciness. -Reduction of other ingredient as (Phosphate)

*In Dairy application: Activa is used for texture improvement in cheese & Yoghurt .

Enzymes produced by genetically modified microorganisms

  There are several advantages of using GMMs for the production of enzymes, including: It is possible to produce enzymes with a higher specificity and purity It is possible to obtain enzymes which would otherwise not be available for economical, occupational health or environmental reasons Due to higher production efficiency there is an additional environmental benefit through reducing energy consumption and waste from the production plants

For enzymes used in the food industry particular benefits are for example a better use of raw materials (juice industry), better keeping quality of a final food and thereby less wastage of food (baking industry) and a reduced use of chemicals in the production process (starch industry) For enzymes used in the feed industry particular benefits include a significant reduction in the amount of phosphorus released to the environment from farming

Examples:- Novozymes’ enzymes produced by genetically modified microorganisms Novozymes A/S markets a range of enzymes for various industrial purposes. Many of these enzymes are produced by fermentation of genetically modified microorganisms (GMMs
