Shortening is a commonly used ingredient in commercial baking, which helps produce moist and soft baked goods. However, this ingredient can come coupled with challenges such as off-flavors, rising costs, and not appealing to health-conscious consumers. Fortunately, enzymes can offer bakers solutions for these issues.

Enzyme Innovation is a research-driven true manufacturer with more than 67 years of manufacturing experience, and unparalleled expertise in industrial probiotics and enzymes.
