A closer look at the product

Food-Grade Lysozyme (E1105)
at a glance.

We offer lysozyme, a protein that occurs naturally in egg white, as a liquid enzyme solution designed to prevent late-blowing defects in cheese production. Also known in food technology as E1105, its use is determined by the target product category and the applicable legislation.

With enzyme-based ingredients, dosage is not the only consideration: process temperature, pH, the production sequence and the other ingredients used alongside can all change the expected result. We therefore consider product selection together with your application conditions.

Where and how
can it add value?

Industrial formulations of food ingredients
Industrial formulations of food ingredients
01

Ripened cheese

Used to help control undesirable microbial growth in certain cheese applications.

02

Food processes

In processes that make use of enzyme function, suitability is reviewed according to the product and the legislation of the country concerned.

03

Formulation work

Compatibility testing with pH, heat treatment and other ingredients is important.

04

Hard and semi-hard cheese production

Within the applicable regulatory framework, it is used in hard and semi-hard cheeses to prevent late blowing caused by Clostridium tyrobutyricum; dosage and allergen management are evaluated separately.

05

Fermentation balance

In selected food applications where microbial dynamics are critical, the target organism, the pH of the medium and the salt content may change the effect.

06

Enzyme-based product development

The recipe's heat-treatment sequence, process time and final product matrix are evaluated in laboratory trials with regard to lysozyme activity.

07

Quality and labelling compliance

Egg-derived allergen declaration, authorisation for use and purity requirements are addressed according to the legislation of the target market.

Technical evaluation

Choosing the right product
starts with the right questions.

In product selection, we consider not only the name or area of use, but also your production conditions and specification requirements.

What is the source of lysozyme?

Lysozyme occurs naturally in egg white; the origin and allergen declaration of our product are stated in its commercial specification.

Under what conditions should lysozyme be evaluated?

The permitted food category in the country of application, heat treatment, pH and allergen management should be checked.

Can it be used in every food category?

No. Suitability is assessed separately according to the legislation of the target country and the product category.
