Advances in Industrial Enzymes--A Global Technology Assessment
|
Description: |
Implementation of Assay Technologies to Help in Developing New Industrial Enzymes
The recognition and implementation of assay technologies is among the biggest challenges faced by researchers in the industrial enzymes industry. Innovative detection and high throughput technologies are expected to ease the issue and go a long way in identifying and producing newer enzymes. Advancements in biotechnology and genomics have aided the discovery of fresh enzyme sources and production strains for commercialization. The operating conditions and performance of enzyme candidates can be tuned to provide the desired performance.
This Technical Insights study, Advances in Industrial Enzymes: A Global Technology Assessment, examines the various technology drivers and restraints that control advances in industrial enzymes. The study categorizes the technology developments based on applications such as food and beverage, detergents, textiles, pulp and paper, and other industrial applications. It also discusses the various research activities at noted universities, R&D centers of leading companies, and other research institutions all over the world.
Need for Environment-friendly Technologies Drives R&D Activities
The need for cleaner and cost-effective technologies is spurring research and development activities in the field of industrial enzymes. Modern biotechnology has helped the enzyme industry develope safe host organism systems for the production of new enzymes. Leveraging the expertise of site-directed mutagenesis and cutting-edge recombinant technologies can greatly aid the development of novel enzymes for various applications, says the analyst of this research. Enzymes are not only more effective and economical than chemicals but are also safer for the environment as they reduce industrial waste.
Scientists in the pulp and paper industry have discovered that the phenol oxidase enzyme can delignify wood pulp just as efficiently as chlorine but without harming nature. In the textile industry, a catalase enzyme is used in the degradation of hydrogen peroxide bleaching liquors as an eco-friendly option to chemicals that cause very high salt concentrations in the process water. Another enzyme, phytases, is highly beneficial in the animal feed market as it lowers the levels of phosphorus in hog and poultry refuse that, in turn, reduces phosphorus contamination of streams and ponds.
Large-scale Projects Possible through Partnerships between Government and Industry Participants
An increasing number of partnerships between governments and industry enzyme companies is the driving force behind the frenzied activity in this space. Ventures such as the U.S. Department of Energy Biomass-to-Ethanol Project were made possible only because of the collaboration between the public and private sectors, notes the analyst.
