This month, we’re shining the spotlight on fibre. 🌟 As more consumers embrace healthier lifestyles, high-fibre breads are capturing our taste buds. However, adding fibre isn’t without its challenges – too much can throw off the delicate balance of starch, gluten, and pentosans, affecting the baking performance. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧? VERON® HF is your perfect partner in boosting fibre content without sacrificing quality. Whether you’re perfecting whole grain recipes or crafting specialty #highfibre loaves, VERON® HF ensures your bread delivers the perfect balance of taste, texture, and nutrition. 🥖 Ready to take your baking to the next level? #FibreFebruary #VERON 

🌟 Happy Lunar New Year! 🌟   This year we are welcoming the Year of Snake filled with wisdom and good luck – qualities associated with the snake. 🐍 For us this celebration is a great reminder of our global community and the diverse cultures that shape our spirit.   Here’s to a year of successful partnerships and continued growth!   #ChineseNewYear #YearOfTheSnake

Unlock the Power of Plant Protein with COROLASE® VP & COROLASE® XO! 🌱 As we are bringing #Veganuary to a close, now is the perfect time to explore innovative ways to enhance your plant-based offerings. COROLASE® VP and COROLASE® XO, our signature #enzyme solutions for plant-based protein, help you unlock the full potential of plant proteins. 𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫? Plant-based proteins are attractive ingredients, but often their taste and texture are still inferior to those of animal proteins. That’s where enzymes come in: 🔬 𝐂𝐎𝐑𝐎𝐋𝐀𝐒𝐄® 𝐕𝐏 (𝐄𝐧𝐝𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐬𝐞): Enhances functionality by breaking down proteins into shorter peptides, improving solubility and other functional properties. 🔬 𝐂𝐎𝐑𝐎𝐋𝐀𝐒𝐄® 𝐗𝐎 (𝐄𝐱𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐬𝐞): Enhances solubility and delivers superior flavour by precisely releasing amino acids, reducing bitterness, and enhancing taste profiles. Together or standalone, these products help to create better plant protein ingredients that are: ✔️ More versatile for food formulation ✔️ Better soluble ✔️ Improved in taste and texture 👉 Ready to learn more? Contact us to explore how COROLASE® VP and COROLASE® XO can transform your plant-based ingredients. #Veganuary #PlantBased #COROLASE #DairyAlternatives

Meet Eemeli, a Process Engineer, and read about his journey at AB Enzymes 👇 "My name is Eemeli, and I work as a process engineer at AB Enzymes. My job involves planning and implementing both small and large technical changes related to the 𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲’𝐬 𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬. The content of my workdays varies from pure design work and managing technical documents to contract negotiations and installation supervision. I applied for a summer job at AB Enzymes in the spring of 2018 while I was studying to become an engineer in bio- and chemical engineering. I got a position as an operator in the fermentation department, and after the summer job, I stayed on as a part-time worker in the fermentation department while finishing my 𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤. In the spring of 2022, I got a position as a process engineer and moved from the fermentation department to my current role. My experience working as a process operator has been of great benefit in my current position because, being 𝐟𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐫 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐩𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭, I can more clearly understand how different changes affect the entire production process and its flow. The best things about AB Enzymes are the interesting and diverse tasks and the 𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲. I have had the opportunity to do a variety of things and have continuously been able to develop my skills in the way I want. The field we work in is unique, and it feels like I am involved in creating solutions for future challenges." --- ”Olen Eemeli ja toimin AB Enzymesilla prosessi-insinöörinä. Työtehtäviini kuuluu tehtaan toimintaan ja tuotantoprosessiin liittyvien 𝐭𝐞𝐤𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐧 𝐦𝐮𝐮𝐭𝐨𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐧 𝐬𝐮𝐮𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐮 𝐣𝐚 𝐭𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐬. Työpäivieni sisältö vaihtelee puhtaasta suunnittelutyöstä ja teknisten dokumenttien hallinnasta urakkaneuvotteluihin ja asennusvalvontaan. Hain AB Enzymesille kesätöihin keväällä 2018 kun olin opiskelemassa bio- ja kemiantekniikan insinööriksi. Pääsin 𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐤𝐬𝐢 𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐬𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐞 ja kesätöiden jälkeen jäin fermentointiosastolle tuntityöläiseksi ja viimeistelin opintoni työn ohessa. Keväällä 2022 sain prosessi-insinöörin paikan ja siirryin fermentointiosastolta nykyiseen tehtävääni. Kokemuksestani prosessioperaattorina työskentelystä on ollut suurta etua nykyisessä tehtävässäni, koska kun 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐭 𝐣𝐚 𝐥𝐚𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐞𝐭 𝐨𝐯𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐮𝐭𝐭𝐮𝐣𝐚, pystyy selkeämmin hahmottamaan miten erilaiset muutokset vaikuttavat koko tuotantoprosessiin ja sen kulkuun. Parasta AB Enzymesissa ovat 𝐦𝐢𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐤𝐢𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐨𝐢𝐬𝐞𝐭 𝐣𝐚 𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐩𝐮𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐞𝐭 työtehtävät sekä mahtava työyhteisö. Olen päässyt tekemään vaikka mitä ja olen jatkuvasti päässyt kehittämään omaa osaamistani haluamallani tavalla. Ala, jolla toimimme, on ainutlaatuinen ja tuntuu että saa olla mukana luomassa ratkaisuja tulevaisuuden haasteisiin."

𝐄𝐱𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐬: 𝐊𝐞𝐲 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐢𝐧 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 When it comes to protein processing, #enzymes play a pivotal role in shaping protein functionality and overall product quality. There are two key categories of protein-digesting enzymes: endopeptidases and exopeptidases. By strategically using those, food technologists can create, among others, #plantbased products with better texture, taste, and nutritional profiles. But how do these enzymes work?

Happy New Year! ✨ We at AB Enzymes are looking forward to an exciting year ahead – one filled with continued collaboration and meaningful progress toward our shared goals. Around the corner might also be something new and exciting… Stay tuned! 👀
