Explore the Enzyme Ecosystem

Buyers & Users

Food & Beverage Processors

Use enzymes in food processes where the enzyme function and allowed use fit.

Cleaning Product Formulators

Use enzyme preparations within cleaning product formulations.

Research Universities

Study and engineer enzymes for use in diagnostic assays.

Organizations to Explore

Harvard University

Study and engineer enzymes for use in diagnostic assays.

Arla Foods

Uses lactase with filtration to reduce lactose in dairy products. The checked UK whole-milk drink lists milk and lactase enzyme, and still declares milk as an allergen. This establishes enzyme use in food processing, not enzyme manufacture, a named enzyme supply contract or suitability for people with milk allergy. Geography: Denmark-based group; checked product evidence from the United Kingdom.

Saputo

Uses lactase in Dairyland lactose-free milk. Saputo identifies Dairyland among its Canadian brands, and Dairyland describes adding the enzyme to break lactose into glucose and galactose before further processing. Dairyland is a Saputo brand. This is evidence of enzyme use, not an enzyme producer profile or a verified supplier contract. Geography: Canada; Dairyland brand evidence.

HP Hood

Makes LACTAID lactose-free dairy products and lists lactase enzyme in the checked whole-milk ingredients. The product still contains milk. This dairy product does not establish that Hood makes lactase or owns the LACTAID trademark. Geography: United States.

Procter & Gamble

Uses enzymes in laundry formulations under Tide. The US ingredient guide lists amylase for starch stains, cellulase for clothing fibers and subtilisin for protein stains. The guide covers several formulations; it is not the exact ingredient list for every Tide product. The guide describes use of enzymes, not manufacture of enzyme preparations. Geography: United States ingredient guide; Procter & Gamble group.

Henkel

Buys enzymes for laundry and dishwashing detergents and works with suppliers on their development. Its biotechnology page states that Henkel does not produce the enzymes itself. The page discusses enzyme liquids and granules used in formulations. No supplier identity, purchase volume or general safety and environmental claim is inferred from this role evidence. Geography: International Henkel Consumer Brands operations.

Unilever

Uses enzymes in laundry products and works with partners on future enzyme designs. Its April 2024 Wonder Wash launch account describes a formulation combining enzymes with other ingredients; the current Home Care page continues to describe that product and the Arzeda research partnership. This does not establish that every new research enzyme is already sold or that every regional formulation is identical. Geography: International group; checked 2024 launch evidence names the United Kingdom and China.

Rice University

Engineers enzymes for RNA detection assays. An October 2026 university account describes work on a Cas13a variant, balancing stability, sensitivity and unwanted signals. The reported test used synthetic, noninfectious HIV material. This evidence establishes diagnostic assay research, not performance in a general patient population or approval of a clinical test. Geography: Houston, Texas, United States.

McMaster University

Studies catalytic DNA for tests that detect bacteria. Its January 2025 research record describes DNAzyme-linked gels that release a visible signal after a bacterial target activates cleavage. A DNAzyme is catalytic DNA, not a protein enzyme. The record reports lake-water and patient-sample experiments; those selected study samples do not establish general clinical performance or regulatory approval. Geography: Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.

Stanford University

Studies CRISPR enzyme reactions and their limits in molecular diagnostic assays. The Microfluidics Laboratory lists this work under current projects and links papers on enzyme kinetics, detector sensitivity and sample preparation. The project pages have no publication date and cite work through 2023. Geography: Stanford, California, United States.
