The purpose of this presentation is to demonstrate effects of incertitude of scientific knowledge on innovation in production with recombinant technology for food-processing enzymes and animal feed enzymes. The technological trajectories of food-processing enzymes are self-enforced not only technological factors and market factors but also risk information derived from scientific allergy research under incertitude of scientific knowledge. A novel production system for recombinant phytase was developed for animal feed enzymes, because recombinant phytase can prevent environmental pollution in rivers and lakes. The case of recombinant phytase indicates importance of social legitimacy to accomplish innovation under incertitude of scientific knowledge.
