Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the production of a food product whereby an intermediate form of said food product comprises a pigment, which process comprises adding at least one enzyme that is effective in directly converting said pigment into a form which results in increasing the whiteness of at least part of the food product compared to the food product for which said enzyme is not added during its production. The invention also relates to food products obtained from the process of the invention.

Abstract: This invention discloses novel bacterial spore systems. Genetically modified or genetically engineered viable spore systems expressing bioactive polypeptides, for example bacteriocins and/or enzymatically active feed enzymes, at the spore surface, have a great potential use in animal feeding. Genetically modified or “genetically engineered inert spore systems expressing affinity ligands or immobilized enzymes at the surface have a great potential use in biocatalysis and in the construction of biocatalytic films. Especially the resistance to harsh chemicals, desiccation, strong pressure, or high temperatures allows the spores to be a potentially valuable tool for the display of bioactive molecules, like biocatalytic enzymes or bioactive feed enzymes that must survive harsh conditions to deliver their full potential.
