Most industrial enzymes break down easily or become inactive in the industrial environment.
Diversa s proprietary evolutionary strategies are designed to customize biomolecules to resist degradation and to remain stable at high temperatures or in the presence of organic solvents. Similarly, these capabilities enable us to address the demand for new enzyme activities for specialty applications. Diversa s discovery and development efforts address these market opportunities with enzymes, novel polymers, and other bioactives. These nature-derived compounds may be utilized to affect product appearance, texture, color, fragrance, flavor and health benefit. Corn Wet Milling Corn wet milling enzymes modify the starch found in corn to produce higher value end products, such as high fructose corn syrup and ethanol.
