Yeast and Enzymes - Category Spend Analysis

This market intelligence report states that the increasing demand for processed foods and beverages by consumers, especially in emerging economies, is fueling the growth in the yeast and enzymes industry. Increasing biofuel adoption is adding to the growth, especially in developed regions such as the EU. The food and beverage industry is one of the biggest consumers of industrial enzymes and yeast. Enzymes are used heavily in the manufacturing of processed foods. They are used as processing aids and help processed foods manufacturers to obtain more from raw materials, streamline the production processes, and improve the quality of processed food products. Yeast and enzymes also help improve flavor, color, aroma, and nutritional value of processed foods.

According to this yeast and enzymes procurement research report, the market is also witnessing an increase in the demand for biofuels. Biofuels such as ethanol use enzymes and yeast for the fermentation process whereby sugar is broken down into carbon dioxide, resulting in the creation of ethanol. Enzymes and yeast producers are focusing on creating unique products that are used exclusively for ethanol production. These new innovative enzymes and yeast result in increased yields and faster fermentation.

Yeast and Enzymes - Procurement Best Practices

This market intelligence report recommends that buyers ensure that suppliers are following the best yeast or enzyme production practices. These practices mainly revolve around following sourcing quality standards, using quality control to minimize toxicity, ensuring enzyme stability, and sourcing using a global model.

One of the procurement best practices for buyers is to engage with suppliers that take storage decisions based on enzyme stability profiles. All enzymes lose their potency over time due to a combination of moisture and heat, and the rate of enzymes losing their potency depends on the storage conditions. However, each enzyme has a unique stability profile under various conditions. The decisions pertaining to storage should be based on the data and experience with each enzyme. As a result, buyers should prefer suppliers that take storage decisions based on enzyme stability profiles.

Yeast and Enzymes - Procurement Challenges

According to this market intelligence research, one of the procurement challenges faced by buyers is the packaging and storage material used for enzymes and yeast. The type of packaging and storage material used for yeast has a direct impact on the effectiveness of yeast's fermentation capacity. As per industry experts, yeast fermentation capacity is best maintained in the cast of cellophane-wrapped yeast stored in cardboard boxes.

In case of enzymes, the type of packaging material affects the activity levels of enzymes, which determines the effectiveness of enzymes in terms of their ability to speed up chemical reactions. As per industry experts, enzymes are best preserved when packaged in plastic foam (polystyrene) containers with gel ice packs.

Yeast is single-celled micro-organism fungi. Yeast is mainly used because of their ability to break down sugar into carbon dioxide, ethanol, flavor molecules, and energy in a process called fermentation. Enzymes are molecules which increase the rate of chemical reactions. The most common forms of enzymes are lipase, protease, and carbohydrase. Enzymes are created by the process of fermentation.
