Industrial Enzymes: Catalysts for Innovation and Sustainability
Industrial Enzymes Industrial enzymes are those that are used in a variety of industries for profit, such as the production of consumer goods, biofuels, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and food and drink. Recent advances have led to the belief that employing isolated enzymes for biocatalysis is more economical than using whole cells. Enzymes can be used as a unit activity in a process to achieve a desired outcome, or they might be the target product. Industrial biological catalysis by enzymes has expanded quickly in recent years because to the amazing chiral and positional precision of enzymes, as well as their ability to act in mild conditions—qualities that conventional chemical processes do not possess. Understanding Industrial Enzymes Enzymes are proteins that catalyze biochemical reactions without being consumed in the process. They are highly specific, targeting particular substrates to produce desired products efficiently. Industrial enzymes are categorized based on the types
