Enzymes in Industrial Biotechnology

Abstract: Enzyme technology has been used in industrial processes since ancient Greece. The present industrial applications of enzymes are, however, the result of a rapid development seen primarily over the past five decades, thanks to, first of all, the evolution of modern biotechnology. The result is a highly diversified market that is still growing in terms of both size and complexity. The introduction of protein engineering has revolutionized the development of industrial enzymes further and made it possib… Show more

“…They have found application in many industries including pulp and paper, leather, detergents and textiles, pharmaceuticals, chemical, biofuels, food and animal feed, among others. In all areas of application, enzymes are used to effectively facilitate transformations or to replace traditional chemical processes making them cleaner with less impact on the environment (Adrio and Demain, 2014;Lobedanz et al, 2016).…”

“…As they can break down the triacylglycerides in fats, they are extremely useful in the food and cleaning industries as well as in other industrial areas. These applications have been described in comprehensive reviews (Gurung et al 2013;Hasan et al 2010;Houde et al 2004;Kirk et al 2002;Lobedanz et al 2000) and will not be elaborated upon here. However, to be of any use in industry, an enzyme must possess appropriate physicochemical properties along with its ability to catalyse useful reactions.…”
