Properties

Our food-grade DNase is a powerful processing aid that delivers measurable value across fermentation, food production, and sanitation workflows. By efficiently degrading DNA released during cell lysis, it significantly reduces viscosity in fermentation broths, improving mixing, pumping, and overall process efficiency in industries like brewing, bioethanol, and ingredient manufacturing.

It also enhances filtration and clarification by minimising fouling, enabling faster throughput and lower operating costs. In protein and yeast extract production, DNase supports higher purity and better yields, while contributing to consistent texture and product quality.

Beyond processing, it plays a critical role in facility hygiene by breaking down extracellular DNA in biofilms, strengthening cleaning protocols and reducing contamination risks. From beverages to bioprocessing, a high-performance food-grade DNase is not just an enzyme, it’s a strategic tool for improving efficiency, quality, and compliance across the entire production chain.
