EnWave Corporation has successfully used its proprietary Radiant Energy Vacuum (REV) dehydration technology to enrich nutraDRIED fruit products with the enzyme B-galactosidase; an enzyme responsible for breaking down lactose, a sugar found mainly in milk and other dairy products. The enzyme retained 90% of its activity after several months of storage at room temperature within the fruit’s natural structure at 10% moisture. This result validates the potential use of nutraDRIED food products as delivery vehicles for nutraceuticals and bioactive materials.
The nutraDRIED fruit enriched with B-galactosidase is designed to be used as an ingredient in cereal mixes, targeting lactose intolerant individuals. The enzyme gradually releases from the fruit, breaking down the lactose before the milk enters the large intestine, thus avoiding the negative side effects caused by lactose intolerance.
