B.S.C.- Enzymes and Biochemicals ; Papain and Foam Stabilizers for beer

B.S.C. was founded as Blue Star Chemicals in 1947 with the original intention to offer fine newly developed ingredients for the brewing industry. The product range consisted in liquid and powder chill proofing agents, foam stabilizers and hop extracts. Throughout the years the company established itself with two successful brands: Cristalase® and Cristalfoam®.

As the use of natural enzymes became more popular, new formulations in liquid and powder form were developed for applications in the food, feed and pharmaceutical industry. Enzymes are defined as organic structures having the ability to catalyze and accelerate natural reactions following the well known chemical equation of Michaelis-Menten.

Enzymes can be of bacterial, fungal, animal and vegetal origin. While they are naturally present in our everyday life, they also contribute to our way of living and our general health. At present, it is clear that the future for enzymes of vegetal origin is promising.

Substantial research work is done worldwide amongst various outstanding companies. Much more news is expected on this in the near future.

Mission

B.S.C. is deeply committed in the development, formulation and marketing of niche market biochemicals based on natural active components for the food–feed-beverage and pharma industry.

We look forward to be recognized as specialists in the papaya protease field as well as for beer friendly foam stabilizing agents.

Our aim is to surpass our customers expectations on service and quality while creating a demanding but challenging and creative work environment for our crew.

Bringing support to in situ technological development in Central Africa allows us to contribute, all be it modestly, to close the gap between North and South.
