Dairy industry, enzymes role

Studies on the functional significance of MFGM-associated enzymes have been restricted largely to their involvement in degradative events that affect processing properties or flavor, or for their use as markers of adequate pasteurization. Obviously, enzymes that can produce product defects are of great concern to the dairy industry. Unfortunately, the biological roles... 

Enzymes. Enzymes are of great importance to the dairy industry as they play a key role in various processes, such as the production and ripening of cheese. Rennets are the giants in milk processing enzymes but other enzymes such as proteases, lipases, lysozyme and p-galactosidase have shown their applications in dairy processing. 

Microorganisms play a major role in the processing of dairy products, beer, wine, and many other food products. Isolated enzymes are also being used in specialized processes, although in much smaller amounts than are used in the immen.se starchprocessing industry, which will be discussed in a separate chapter.
