COPENHAGEN, April 29 (Reuters) - Danish food ingredients and enzymes producer Danisco's Chief Executive Tom Knutzen told Reuters on Friday:
* U.S. chemicals group DuPont's higher bid and lower acceptance threshold is a strong sign of dedication by DuPont to carry out the Danisco acquisition
* DuPont's higher bid is only likely to strengthen the Danisco board's recommendation of the offer to Danisco shareholders
* DuPont's altered offer for Danisco gives markets clarity
* It is now clear that the 14-day extension is all there is left for deal with DuPont
* Altered DuPont offer for Danisco should make it easier for Danisco shareholders to decide what to do with their shares
