DSM Food Specialties, Sanovo Engineering A/S partner in egg processing business

DSM Food Specialties and Sanovo Engineering A/S have announced their partnership in egg processing that includes a joint development agreement to bring technologies of both companies to market.

“Today's egg processors and food manufacturers welcome innovative egg products and effective alternatives to traditional processing methods. They are also keen to replace energy intensive processes with enzyme driven processes,” says Thor Stadil, chairman of the board, Sanovo Engineering. “Through this partnership we can offer key technologies to our customers, in addition to our current products and services such as egg-sorting, egg-breaking and turn-key plants and process automation.”

“Through this partnership, DSM expects to accelerate the market introduction of products in its pipeline. The knowledge of Sanovo engineering in hardware management will speed up the alignment of the ideal cost-effective enzyme conditions with new or available hardware,” says

Theo Verleun, industry manager Food Processing Enzymes at DSM Food Specialties. Enzymes are biocatalysts used to help speed up chemical reactions in living organisms. They function as a natural catalyst for a biochemical reaction, without being changed or diminished. Enzymes are, for the most part, derived from fungal and bacterial organisms, with some products deriving from plant sources such as papaya and pineapple.
