The global pet food market is growing along with the demand for higher quality, functional pet foods packed with nutrition and protein-rich health benefits. Enhance the taste, digestibility and overall nutrition in protein-rich, high-quality pet foods using microbial enzymes by Novonesis. Protease enzymes can also help reduce bitterness and increase the savory flavor that pets love.

Produce high-value protein-rich ingredients from seafood co-products with microbial enzymes, including fish and seafood protein extracts, natural flavors and flavor enhancers. Seafood protein hydrolysates, or extracts, are valuable ingredients that can be used as protein fortifiers, natural flavors and flavor enhancers across a wide range of products in food and beverages as well as pet food and animal feed.

Enzymatic processing adds value to food processing facilities handling meat coproducts, turning them into valuable food ingredients such as meat protein extracts. Meat protein extracts can be used in products such as meat cuts, processed foods, stocks, soups, bouillons and sausages. By using enzymes to convert your trimmings into meat protein extracts, you create a new protein source for use in a wide variety of processed foods. Extracts also help reduce the salt content of processed foods, while adding extra flavor and nutritional value.  

Glycosaminoglycans, better known as GAGs, are used to develop joint- and health-targeted supplements for medical, veterinary, pharmaceutical and cosmetic applications. Microbial enzymes contribute toward a more consistent extraction of high-quality GAGs for better end products. Explore enzymatic solutions by Novonesis to help improve yield and reduce water use and costs during the GAGs extraction process.  

Demand for additional protein sources in feed manufacture is growing, with rigorous quality and digestibility requirements. Feather hydrolysis is a sustainable way to derive additional value from these animal protein co-products. Enzymes let producers convert feather waste into high-quality feather meal. Enzymatic hydrolysis efficiently breaks down the feather proteins to make them digestible, delivering accessible nutrition for animal feed and pet food.  

Yeast extracts are used as flavoring agents in foods such as soups, gravies, snack foods and meat products. Yeast extracts can be used as protein fortifiers, natural flavors and flavor enhancers across a wide range of food and beverage products. Explore other protein sources for enhancing flavors using enzymes.
