Scientists are rapidly gaining insight into the function and specificity of enzymes. Furthermore, new enzymes are being developed that allow for novel applications or significant improvements in existing applications. This book will help food scientists improve the selection of enzymes for meeting the requirements of specific processes.

This comprehensive title, provides sections on amylolytic enzymes, cell wall hydrolysing enzymes, non-hydrolytic enzymes, endogenous enzymes, endogenous enzyme inhibitors, food applications, beverage applications, feed applications, as well as the significance and general applications of enzymes.

This reference will be valuable to researchers in academia and industry and vital to professionals involved in biotechnological processes in which grains are used, including milling, bread making, malting and brewing, animal feed production, and gluten starch separation.
