Abstract

As the preceding chapters in this book have explored in detail, the field of dairy enzymology is wide and complex, and enzymes from multiple sources can influence the quality of dairy products, in some cases positively and in some negatively; others, such as coagulants, are intrinsic to the production of whole families of dairy products, like cheese. In addition, while enzymes have been a part of dairy processing for millennia, directly or indirectly, today they offer potential for future innovation and product development, whether by creation of new textures through cross-linking of proteins or by addressing health-related issues through proteolysis-aided reduction of allergenicity or lactose intolerance. The purpose of this final short chapter is to consider future possibilities related to research and innovation in dairy enzymology, and to also discuss some enzymes which have not been discussed in earlier chapters.
