Food processing enzyme

Kikkoman offers high-quality enzyme for food processing applications through an original manufacturing system, based on extensive know-how in the field of purification technologies accumulated over many years-technologies that can be traced back to the original cultivation technologies developed for the fermentation of soy sauce. Kikkoman's food processing enzyme incorporate tannase, which prevents opacity in tea beverages.

Tannase

Tannase is an enzyme that enables the production of clear tea beverages while maintaining the tea's original deep flavor. The "browning" of tea beverages occurs because the caffeine and catechins in the tea create compounds that do not dissolve in cold water. Tannase separates the gallic acid (which is related to the bonding of caffeine and catechin) from the catechins, thus preventing the browning effect.
