Enzymes in the Beverage Industry (original) (raw)

Enzymes in Food Biotechnology, 2019

Abstract

Abstract Enzymes are novel alternatives to chemical or mechanical methods for improving yield and quality in the beverage industry. Pectinases, amylases, cellulases, and xylanases are typical enzymes used in the extraction and clarification of fruit juices. Pectinases hold a 25% share in global food enzyme sales and industrial demands are still growing. Extraction yield increases up to 100% with synergy of other enzymes such as amylases and cellulases. This chapter aims to provide an updated review on uses of enzymatic methods in the beverage industry such as in the manufacture of fruit juices, coffee, and tea drinks. The role and action of mechanism, source, and advantages of enzyme use will be presented along with a brief description of beverage production, while the economy and suggestions for further improvement will be discussed at the end of the chapter.
