Industrial Enzymes applications and Scope of the Market with trends and forecasts of the market.

Enzyme

• Enzymes are large biological molecules which are used as a catalyst in a biochemical reaction.
• The function of a Enzyme as a catalyst is to speed up the reaction, by lowering the rate of activation energy(the minimum energy that must be input to a chemical system, containing potential reactants, in order for a chemical reaction to occur).
• Enzymes which are the molecules of protein made up from Amino acid chains, are produced by all living organisms and by all plants.

Types of Enzymes according to the Reactions that they support

1) OXIDOREDUCTASES: These are the enzymes used to perform Oxidation and Reduction reactions

2) TRANSFERASES: These Enzymes are used to move functional groups from one molecule to another.
3) HYDROLASES: These Enzymes are used to break single bonds by adding the elements of water.
4) LYASES: used to perform Formation or removal of a double bond with group transfer. Generally the groups groups which are transferred are amino groups, water, and ammonia.
5) ISOMERASES: the position of a functional group is changed within a molecule
6) LIGASES:  These Enzymes remove the elements of water from two functional groups to form a single bond.

Enzymes present everywhere

 

Above image contains list of items which are made up of Enzymes and which we use in daily life.

1)Food Processing

2)In the Production of Sugar from Starch, the catalyst break down the starch into sugar.
3)Baby Food: Protease such as trypsin are used to predigest the protein in baby foods.

4) Baking (bread)
5) Biological detergent (washing powder)
6) Brewing (beer)
7) Confectionery (chocolates)
8) Dairy products (cheese)
9) Fruit juice: Enzymes that act on cellulose reduce the cloudiness of fruit juices.

Industrial Enzymes Market: Trends and Forecasts 

As the use of Enzymes in the industry will improve the output of the any chemical reaction by 8% to 10% by using the same raw material, the use of enzymes in the industries like Food & beverages, cleaning agents, bio fuel production, and animal feed is increasing rapidly.

 

North America and Europe were the lead market holder for Industrial Enzymes , together accounting for over 68% of the market revenue in 2012.
