Up-To-Date Insight on Industrial Enzymes Applications and Global Market

Abstract

Industrial and household catalysis becomes more and more dependent on enzymes. This is not surprising since enzymes are able to catalyze all kinds of chemical reactions. Enzymes with the desired activity under industrial conditions can be obtained by optimizing process conditions and by protein engineering. The use of enzymes frequently results in many benefits that cannot be obtained with traditional chemical treatment. These often include higher product quality and lower manufacturing cost, less waste and reduced energy consumption. Key factors driving the market growth include new enzyme technologies endeavoring to enhance cost efficiencies and productivity, and growing interest among consumers in substituting petrochemical products with other organic compounds such as enzymes. Other factor propelling market growth includes surging demand from textile manufacturers, animal feed producers, detergent manufacturers, pharmaceutical companies, bioethanol producers and cosmetics vendors. The present paper aims to provide a review on industrial enzymes, highlighting on recent scientific advances, current applications in diverse industrial sectors and global market.

Cold active lipases – an update

“…Among the end users of technical enzymes, the leather industry is on top (Sarrouh et al 2012). This is due to environmental pollution by the chemicals used and implementation of global environmental regulations.…”

Isolation, Screening and Determination of Α-Amylase Activity From Marine Streptomyces Species

“…Microbial bioprocess can meet more easily the current market demand for industrial enzymes [17]. Specifically, Streptomyces have been used to synthesize amylases [18,19].…”

Fermentative Production of Microbial Enzymes and their Applications: Present status and future prospects

“…The reasons for application of microorganisms for production of enzymes in industries are selected after thorough screening process for improvement in enzyme efficiency. Broths subjected to fermentation process are comprised of target protein in higher concentration together with other components present in media, specifically salts and carbohydrates [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13]. Fermentation method involving downstream processing is useful to carry out extraction, filtration and separation process to remove impurities from the medium [14,15].…”
