In the
field of biotechnology there are many industrial application that result in biotech products that we use everyday at
home. Some of these are food science applications that utilize enzymes
to produce or make improvements in the
quality of different foods.
Rouault TA, Tong WH. Iron-Sulfur cluster biogenesis and human diseases.
Nends Gennet, 2008 August, Review: enzymes and their roles in the industry are milk
contains proteins,
specifically caseins that maintain it liquid form.
Proteases are enzymes that are added to milk during cheese production, to hydrolyze caseins.
Enzymes have several valuable industrial and medical applications,. Due
to the catalytic activity of enzymes
they are able to be used in a variety
of ways; examples are in the fermenting of wine, the paper industry, starch industry, leather industry , baking
industry, beer brewing industry, washing
detergent industry and diagnostic industry
For many years we have used
enzymes to produce the things we
rely on for example in cheese, bread, wine
beer and yogurts Now due to our much more diverse commercial
applications for example using enzymes in industry the sale of enzymes is a multibillion pound industry.
Enzymes an replace acids in the starch processing industry, and alkalis
or oxidizing agents in fabric desizing reduces the use of sulfide in tanneries
Allow for more complete digestion of animal feed leading to less animal
waste and remove stains from fabric clothes
can be washed at lower temperature, this saves energy ,,
Enzymes can be used instead of using chlorine bleach for removing stains on cloth. The use enzymes also allows the level of surfactants
to be reduced and permits the changing
of clothes in the absences of phosphates
Enzymes also contributed to safer working conditions through elimination
of chemical treatments during production processes for example, in starch,
paper and textile processing , less, hazardous chemicals are required when enzymes are used.
