Enzymes

Danisco is a global leader in developing and manufacturing sustainable enzyme solutions that improve performance, enhance product value and functionality and give rise to new products across a spectrum of industries.

Genencor is the biotechnology division of Danisco that develops these innovative enzymes to achieve new efficiencies, lift the perception of end-products and contribute to a sustainable society.

Where are enzymes used?

Our bio-based solutions target cleaning and textiles, agri processing, food and feed and other consumer and industrial applications.

Present in plants, animals and microorganisms, enzymes are proteins that function as catalysts for the thousands of chemical reactions that take place in all living cells. These natural substances are ideal for use in the modern food industry.

By adding modern biotechnology and knowledge, we can not only mimic the natural enzymatic process but also speed it up. The result is enzymes that are as they would appear in nature and, yet, with an accelerating effect that contributes value-adding, previously unattainable functionalities to food products.

How our enzymes can help you

Our enzymes help the food and feed industries extend shelf life, optimise production, add texture, ensure quality consistency and reduce costs – gains that enable our customers to reduce their water and energy consumption and waste.

Enzymes also support health and wellness aims, for example by promoting the digestion of milk lactose, starch, proteins, fats and oils.
