Engineered digestive enzyme variants: NestleRecent Research Landscape

Uncontrolled enzymatic degradation in formulations leads to rapid loss of product efficacy and shelf-life instability. These specific polypeptide modifications stabilize the molecular structure to prevent premature catalytic activity.

What technical problems is Nestle addressing in Engineered digestive enzyme variants?

Enzymatic instability during storage

(5)evidences

Premature loss of catalytic activity during storage or delivery. Maintaining potency ensures therapeutic efficacy and shelf-life.

Thermal emulsion instability

(5)evidences

Inefficient breakdown of complex proteins like whey and beta-casein leads to poor nutrient absorption and potential allergenicity. Enhancing digestive efficiency improves bioavailability and reduces metabolic waste.
