Food enzymes include products for the baking, brewing, beverage alcohol, fruit juice and wine industries, and other food industries such as the dairy industry and the oils & fats industry.
Sales of food enzymes grew by just below 8% in both DKK and local currencies. Increased sales of baking enzymes contributed to this growth, with the successful implementation of a new distribution set-up in the North American market and increasing market penetration having had a particularly positive impact. Sales of enzymes for beverage alcohol and processed foods also showed healthy growth, driven partly by rising demand in Asia, while sales of enzymes to the brewing industry were on a par with 2005.
Novozymes launched two new products in this business area in 2006: one for the baking industry and one for the brewing industry.
Sales of food enzymes are expected to grow by 3-5% in 2007.
