Food
For centuries, people have utilized enzymes from nature to build their culinary culture, even before fully understanding the concept of enzymes.
In modern times, various enzymes are extracted from microorganisms, plants, and animals, and used in the food processing industry.
Plant-Based
Plant-based milk
We enhance the emulsification and mouthfeel of plant-based milk while also enabling sugar-free options.
Plant-based meat
Consumers want plant-based meats, but only if they mimic real meat's taste, texture and look. Amano's specialty enzymes can increase the umami and meaty flavor of plant-based meat alternatives.
Plant-based yogurt
Amano’s specialty enzymes can improve the water retention properties.
Plant-based cheese
Amano's enzymes can help create high-protein plant-based cheeses that stretch and melt beautifully like regular cheese while maintaining its creamy texture and robust flavor.
Flavors
Yeast extract
We have a long track record of producing enzymes for yeast extract production for more than 30 years.
Plant protein hydrolysate
Amano specialty enzymes can make protein hydrolysates with more robust umami flavor using less salt.
Animal protein hydrolysate
Amano’s specialty proteases can create taste profiles such as umami, bitterness, and saltiness.
Stevia
Our enzyme for the production of glycosyltransferase stevia is non-GMO and has high transfer activity. We also comply with various overseas regulations.
EMC
Create the perfect flavor of aged cheese using Amano specialty enzymes designed for EMC without the expensive and time-consuming aging process.
Protein
Protein modification
Enzymes can improve the solubility, emulsification, foaming, and physical properties of proteins. With our protein glutaminase and world-class protease product portfolio, we are able to meet the demands of our customers.
Collagen peptide
Achieve specific degrees of degradation of collagen peptides.
Infant formula
We have one of the world's leading protease product portforio. We propose enzymes suitable for the taste, degree of degradation, and physical properties requested by customers.
Beverages
Coffee
Our enzymes improve the extraction efficiency of coffee extract and maintain quality by preventing precipitation during coffee extract storage.
Tea
Our enzymes can improve the extraction rate of tea extract, maintain quality by preventing creaming down, and differentiate tea extract by enhancing flavor
Fruit juice
Clear fruit juice drink and improved filtration with Amano enzymes.
Brewing
Beer
Our specialty enzymes are ideal for producing low-carbohydrate beer. We also have a range of enzymes that add richness to beer.
Sake
Sake brewing continues to evolve every day as new enzyme-based methods are introduced to make sake even more efficient and delicious.
Oils and Fats
Omega-3
Amano lipase contributes to the production of efficient, highly concentrated omega-3 fatty acid-rich fats (DHA, EPA).
OPO/CBE
We propose an enzymatic ester exchange technology for processing oils and fats.
Oil refining
Efficient removal of diglycerides and monoglycerides in fats and oils.
Carbohydrates
Oligosaccharides
Amano is one of the world's leading specialty enzyme manufacturers, with a product lineup of enzymes that produce a variety of oligosaccharides, including maltotriose, isomaltooligosaccharides (IMO), and cyclodextrins.
Liquefaction/Saccharification
These enzymes are used in the liquefaction and saccharification of starch.
Starches
Healthcare & Medical
Amano Enzyme's enzymes are utilized across a broad spectrum, benefiting consumers' health, from everyday individuals to professional athletes and those with specific health concerns, spanning from nutritional supplements to medical-grade enzymes.
