Amano Enzyme: Liquid Assets

Amano introduces enzymes for beverage applications

AmanoEnzyme_900
April 15, 2019

Amano Enzyme introduced several new enzymes designed to improve the quality and production capability of coffee, tea and protein beverages. 

The announcement follows the introduction earlier this fall of Protein Glutaminase “Amano” 500 (PG 500), a protein glutaminase believed to be the first food enzyme to improve the solubility of proteins at low pH levels.

“The new coffee enzyme reduces the viscosity of coffee, improving filtration speed and vastly increasing production capability for both hot and cold brew coffees without affecting flavor,” says Ken Iritani, vice president, technical services. “The enzymes designed for tea will not only improve flavor, but also increase yield for hot and cold brew teas.”

“For instance, the tea enzymes will increase the aroma of the tea product, decrease turbidity and improve taste,” add Iritani. “The result is a richer, tastier, and more aromatic tea. In addition, the enzymes will increase product clarity, enhance color, and improve yield.”

He concludes: “The addition of these enzymes will give our customers greater options for improving the quality and production of their products for the dynamic and growing beverage market.”
