Novozymes Honored With Presidential Green Chemistry Award 2005

The presence of both high LDL and low HDL
levels in the blood stream are strong indicators for heart disease.

Novozymes is the biotech-based world leader in enzymes and microorganisms.
"The Food Guidance System released yesterday is clear: get the bad fats
out of your diet and increase consumption of the good fats, " said David
Dzisiak, global business leader, Oils/Oilseeds for Dow AgroSciences.
The new Food Guidance System and 2005 Dietary Guidelines caution consumers
to keep trans fat consumption as low as possible, keep saturated fats to less
than 10 percent of calories (seven percent for higher-risk populations), and
to lower their cholesterol intake.

"One of the best attributes of Natreon canola and sunflower oils is that
they are naturally stable and can directly replace the partially hydrogenated

Instead,
the enzymatic interesterification process uses no harsh chemicals . Novozymes A/S' B shares are listed on the Copenhagen Stock
Exchange. This dramatic shift
shows that healthy oils should be included as a part of a healthy, balanced
diet. For the
first time , the specific recommendation is to "keep total fat intake between
20 to 35 percent of calories, with most fats coming from sources of
polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fatty acids, such as fish, nuts , and
vegetable oil.
"There is no need to nutritionally move back to using highly saturated
oils when Natreon is available now for use in food products and restaurants,"
said Dzisiak.4 billion .

Replacing partially hydrogenated oils with interesterified products can
have a huge positive impact on American public health by reducing trans fatty
acids and increasing poly-unsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) in the American diet.
Enzymatic interesterification helps food processors avoid formation of trans
fatty acids. Switching from butter and original shortenings to
partially hydrogenated oil (a product of chemical processes) reduces saturates
and cholesterol in the human diet.

The FDA has previously estimated that listing trans fat on food labels would
save between 2,000 and 5,600 lives per year as people either choose healthier
foods or manufacturers improve their recipes to eliminate trans fat. Oils are processed in milder conditions so that nutrients in oil
are better preserved.

It ushers in a new era for Novozymes and for the world where we start
to use biotechnology for more sophisticated applications with wide-ranging
impact such as healthier foods. As a result, we 'fast-tracked' the development of oils that would
meet this need and developed Natreon canola and sunflower oils which are
available today.
Research from the Harvard School of Public Health has consistently shown
that reducing saturated fat and eliminating trans fat from the diet could
significantly reduce the risk of coronary heart disease.
