Scientific and Technical is delighted to announce we are launching 3 new enzymes for the start of 2026:

🔬 Invertase - Breaks sucrose into glucose and fructose, accelerating early-stage hydrolysis and boosting readily available carbon.

🔬 Inulinase - Hydrolyses inulin into fermentable fructose, unlocking a major energy source in potato and root-crop wastes.

🔬 α-Galactosidase - Degrades raffinose-family oligosaccharides, improving digestion of crop residues, legumes, and mixed agricultural wastes.

At Scientific & Technical, we understand the pressure manufacturers face: reducing costs, improving efficiency, meeting clean-label expectations, and launching products faster. Our next-generation Invertase, Inulinase, and Alpha-Galactosidase enzymes are engineered to deliver superior performance across food, beverage, nutraceutical, and bioprocessing applications. With high purity, exceptional stability, and competitive pricing, our enzymes help you drive efficiency from raw material to finished product.

🔬 Product Highlights

1. Invertase – Maximise Sweetness Efficiency

Perfect for confectionery, baking, and syrup production.

Benefits:

• Rapid hydrolysis of sucrose into glucose + fructose
• Produces smoother textures and prevents crystallisation
• Enhances moisture retention for longer shelf life in baked goods
• High activity at low dosage → reduced production cost

Applications:

• Soft-centre candies, fondants, jams, protein bars
• Invert sugar production
• Brewing and fermentation

2. Inulinase – Unlock High-Value Fructose & Prebiotics

Ideal for manufacturers focused on functional foods, beverages, and cleaner sweetener systems.

Benefits:

• Efficient hydrolysis of inulin into FOS (fructooligosaccharides) or high-purity fructose
• Enables natural prebiotic ingredient production
• Excellent pH and thermal stability for industrial processes
• Boosts extraction efficiency for chicory, agave, Jerusalem artichoke, and other inulin-rich substrates

Applications:

• Prebiotic syrup manufacturing
• Functional beverages
• Low-calorie sweeteners
• Dietary supplement production

3. Alpha-Galactosidase – Improve Digestibility & Nutritional Value

A solution for plant-based food manufacturers, supplement companies, and pulse processors.

Benefits:

• Breaks down raffinose-family oligosaccharides (RFOS) that cause digestive discomfort
• Enhances nutritional quality of legumes, soy, chickpea, pea protein, and grains
• Boosts fermentation efficiency in brewing and bioethanol production
• Ideal for human enzyme supplements (Beano-type products)

Applications:

• Plant-based food manufacturing
• Symbiotic and digestive health supplements
• Oilseed and pulse processing
• Brewing and ethanol fermentation
