Agricultural biotechnology is also applied to the design of industrial enzymes.
We have designed the biotechnological industrial enzyme technology, with impact on the quality and production of sugar and its derivatives (dextranasa and invertasa), which has been transferred to the Cuban Institute for Research on Sugar Cane Derivatives (ICIDCA) of Grupo Azucarero AZCUBA.
With the enzyme Kestozyme (fructosyltransferase) produced by the CIGB, the Grupo Azucarero AZCUBA will produce tens of tons of fructooligosaccharides (FOS) in 2021, a prebiotic for functional food for humans and animals.
The production of the phytase enzyme is currently underway for its industrial production in Cuba, which will allow the use of monogastric animals in the plants, which will make it possible to replace imports and improve the conversion of food with the consequent increase in production.
