DSM hopes to improve its international food enzymes activities
through the acquisition of the business and all the assets of
Valley Research, an American biotechnology company.
The acrylamide-reducing enzyme Preventase has been granted approval
for use in Switzerland, marking a new step down the road towards
industry-wide adoption for biscuits and other baked goods.
DSM Food Specialities has received approval for Danish food safety
authorities for the use of its Preventase, meaning that the
acrylamide-reducing enzyme can now be used in food products
throughout the EU and the US.
Ingredients manufacturer DSM has developed a new enzyme for the
cake and pastry industry which promises to cut raw material costs
while improving product quality.
