Industrial Production of Enzymes (With Applications) | Biotechnology
Industrial production of amylases, glucose isomerase, pectinases, lipases, cellulases and proteases are described in this article. 1. Amylases: Amylases are a complex group of enzymes that hydrolyse polysaccharides like starch and glycogen to glucose. During the hydrolysis of 1, 4-glycoside, linkages present in above polysaccharides are degraded which result first in the formation of short […]
