Lysozyme: High activity enzyme to digest peptidoglycan.
Applications: include: Cheese and Dairy, Wine, Beer and Brewing, Meat and Seafood Processing, Food Packaging, Medical Care, Pharmaceutical, Biotechnology & Diagnostics.
Properties: Our food-grade lysozyme enzyme is a highly effective natural antimicrobial protein that helps manufacturers enhance food safety, extend shelf life, and reduce spoilage without relying on synthetic preservatives. Widely used across the dairy, cheese, wine, beer, meat, seafood, bakery, and ready-to-eat food industries, lysozyme selectively inhibits spoilage-causing Gram-positive bacteria while maintaining product quality, flavour, and freshness. As consumer demand for clean-label and naturally preserved foods continues to grow, lysozyme offers a proven, regulatory-approved solution that enables producers to improve process efficiency, minimise waste, and deliver safer, longer-lasting products to market. Available in bulk commercial quantities with consistent quality and competitive pricing, our lysozyme solutions are designed to support both large-scale food manufacturers and industrial processors worldwide.
