Ingredients firm DSM Food Specialties has been awarded the 2010 Ringier Technology Prize for its cheese enzyme solution, delvozyme.

The global food enzyme manufacturer was presented the prize at Ringier 2010 Food and Beverage Technology Innovation Awards ceremony in Shanghai, China on 3 June.

Delvozyme is an egg white lysozyme-based enzyme solution that helps prevent bacterial growth in cheese. Company sales manager in China, Thomas Zhao said the product “helps manufacturers to meet stringent food safety standards, avoid costly product recalls and protect brand integrity”.

Twenty-seven enterprises from China and overseas participated in the event, showcasing innovation technology and products. The winners were selected by industry specialists in the five separate food and beverage categories: ingredients, processing technologies, packaging technologies and safety.

Zhao said the technology honour was further recognition of the key role DSM’s enzyme solutions play in the global food industry.
