Food proteases for valorization of by-products
For many years, the food processing industry has efficiently converted raw materials
and ingredients into healthy, tasty and attractive consumer food products that have a
marketable shelf life. Global pressure in cost reduction requires that the manufacture
of processed food is done as economically as possible without compromising quality.
Enzymes permit the more efficient use of raw materials by extracting more of the
valuable nutrients. Additionally, enzymes can lower your energy bill by reducing the
consumption of energy and reducing waste streams. DuPont Industrial Biosciences
offers a broad portfolio of food enzymes that can further improve your existing
process or help you develop innovative processes for new products.
Food processing enzymes – In dire need of sustainable proteins
The world population is expected to grow to 9-10 billion people by
2050. This will put tremendous pressure on food production, which
is already facing tough conditions like the decline in agricultural
productivity and increasing production costs. This is especially true
for protein consumption whose growth is also caused by income
growth and urbanization in the world especially driven by the BRIC
countries. There is an opportunity as we are currently under utilizing
available resources from the different food industries. As an example,
the poultry industry produced around 82.4 million metric tons of
broiler meat in 2012. This production produces a large amount of
by-products* such as feathers, blood and offal. These by-products
are typically rich in proteins and fat and can be further processed to
concentrate, preserve and/or sterilize this material that can be used in
pet food and/or animal feed applications and would free other protein
sources that could be used for human consumption. Current food
production could be more efficient and there could be better uses of
by-products from industrial food production.
In order to take advantage of these by-products of the meat industry,
enzymes such as proteases, can be used to extract the protein and
separate the fat in an efficient and sustainable manner. DuPont has an
extensive portfolio of microbial food proteases that can increase your
profitability. Our application know-how and expertise in food
applications will help you utilize your by-products in a more efficient
manner and help you feed our growing world population.
