One of Enzyme Development Corporation’s areas of expertise is the production of plant-based proteases. For example, EDC is the only producer of Papain, Ficin, and thistle rennet in the Western Hemisphere. Papain is the original product EDC offered in 1953 for use in the beer industry. For more information on Papain, please visit papain.com. Thistlezyme (thistle rennet) and Ficin, a protease …
Enzyme Development Corporation’s Lab Manager, Andrea Dreyfus, presented a poster at IFT discussing the differences between Ficin (a new food-grade biocatalyst, a botanical protease), papain, and bromelain, comparing the enzyme’s activity and stability over a range of temperatures and pH. Ficin, a natural non-GMO proteolytic biocatalyst from the latex of Ficus species (tropical fig tree), is approved for use in food and …
With the new FDA regulations on “gluten-free” claims, there is a new interest in enzymes that have not been derived from fermentation. To meet the need for this growing demand for non-Fermentation enzymes, EDC offers a number of botanical enzymes, including Papain, Bromelain, Ficin, and the protease from Thistle. These proteases are plant-based, non-GMO enzymes that have no wheat or …
