  • Friday, January 05, 2024
  • 6:00pm - 7:00pm

James D. Chapa of Novozymes

Enzymes are everywhere in nature because they do amazing things. Did you know they make food better, too? For example, they transform oats into creamy drinks, prevent bread from getting hard and stale, and give plant-based meats a more realistic texture. Discover how enzymes are produced at industrial scale from microscopic organisms and what you can do with them to make better foods.
