food processing. 
The residual removal and/or inactivation of enzyme may be done as follows: 
a. Heating; 
b. pH modification with allowable acidity regulator substance which followed by 
filtration and centrifugation; 
c. Suitable Molecular filtration for enzyme; and/or 
d. Other relevant method. G/SPS/N/IDN/110
