Blog Life Sciences , Biotechnology Enzymes In Industry: Market Trends You Need To Know
Industrial Enzymes Market Background
Enzymes are large biomolecules that are responsible for many chemical reactions all living cells need to survive. All enzymes share a set of characteristics, including the following:
Enzymes have revolutionized how scientists approach research for various conditions and have paved the way for a new class of drugs that allow for highly specific treatment, prevention and control of many injuries and diseases.
Industrial enzymes are an integral part of various industries: food, textile, leather, detergent, animal feed and biofuel. Innovation in industrial enzyme applications has revolutionized the biotech industry and provides an opportunity to reduce pollution and manufacturing costs. Enzyme technology refers to the use of isolated and purified enzymes, or catalysts, in many industrial processes. Enzymatic processes are becoming rapidly better financial and ecological alternatives to chemical processes due to their cost-effective, biodegradable nature.
Factors Driving The Industrial Enzymes Market
Biotechnological advances have led to the replacement of harsh chemicals by biodegradable enzymes in various industrial processes. Industrial enzymes have sparked a revolution in the enzyme industry, acting as the cornerstone for industrial biotechnology.
Types of industrial enzymes include: technical, food, animal nutrition and medical.
Technical enzymes are applied in detergents, pulp and paper, textile manufacturing, leather goods, fuel production and to pharmaceuticals and chiral substances. Technical enzymes are typically manufactured and used in bulk, compared to other applications.
In food, enzymes play a critical role in converting starch for ingredients in food products. Food enzymes are mainly used in the baking, fruit juice manufacturing, wine making, brewing and cheese manufacturing.
Animal nutrition is an important and growing area of enzyme application, particularly for pig and poultry nutrition. Feed enzymes help degrade specific feed components that are otherwise either harmful or provide no value to livestock. Enzymes are also used for animal and aquaculture nutrition. And enzymes such as amylase, nuclease, peroxidase, proteinase, glucose oxidase, superoxide dismutase and urease are applied in cosmetic products.
In the medical industry, enzymes are used as digestive aids, for wound cleaning, for lysis in vein thromboses, in acute therapy for myocardial infarction and as support in the therapy of certain types of leukemia.
Several factors are driving the growth of the industrial enzymes market:
