Results for tag: "Phospholipase"

Phospholipase is an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of phospholipids, which are a type of lipid molecule found in cell membranes. Phospholipases are used in a variety of industries, including food, pharmaceutical, and biotechnology. They are used to modify the structure of lipids, which can be used to improve the stability and solubility of drugs, as well as to create emulsions and other food products. Phospholipases are also used in research to study the structure and function of cell membranes. The phospholipase market is expected to grow in the coming years due to increasing demand for lipids in the food and pharmaceutical industries. The increasing demand for lipids in the food industry is driven by the growing demand for convenience foods, while the increasing demand for lipids in the pharmaceutical industry is driven by the need for more effective drugs. Some companies in the phospholipase market include Sigma-Aldrich, Merck KGaA, Novozymes, and Enzybel International. Show Less Read more
