How are enzymes used in soil stabilisation during road construction?
The need to have good roads has increased over time. Indeed, constructing good roads requires stable and durable soil, which can be done via soil stabilization. The fact is that soil stabilization is a costly investment and sometimes high costs become obstacles in...
What Are The Different Types of Enzymes for Reducing BOD and COD Levels?
It is a common misconception that water doesn’t have oxygen. In reality, water does contain oxygen – in dissolved form. Going back to the chemistry class, the chemical formula of water is H2O, where H is hydrogen and O stands for oxygen. Though oxygen isn’t a...
Uses of Maltogenic Amylase in Baking
The use of enzymes in the baking industry is not new and has been followed for decades. An enzyme is a protein that makes a chemical change in a biological system. In the baking industry, enzymes break starch into maltose, complex sugar into simple sugar, and protein...
Bromelain Enzyme: Uses and Benefits
Bromelain is a combination of enzymes present in the pulp and stem part of the Pineapple Plant or Ananas comosus. Bromelain, which is rich in dietary fibre, is a proteolytic enzyme that falls in the category of enzymes that assist in protein...
What Are The Enzymes Used In Ethanol Production?
Given the predicted exhaustion of Crude-oil-based fuel energy supply, bioethanol has gained importance as an alternate source of energy. Bioethanol is produced via microbial fermentation and offers a cost-effective source of energy. Microbes produce the majority of...
Important Enzymes Involved In The Composting Process
Composting is a complicated process involving organic waste and microbes. This procedure can be carried out by three types of microorganisms: bacteria, fungus, and actinomycetes depending upon the method of composting. Actinomycetes are bacteria that decompose organic...
Applications Of Dextranase Enzyme
Dextranase enzyme is used for the degradation of dextran into smaller fractions of low molecular weight giving dextranase great commercial and clinical importance. Dextran is a collective word used for dextran hydrolase and dextranase. Dextranase is easily soluble in...
Application of Keratinase Enzyme
Keratinase enzyme is a type of extracellular proteolytic inducible enzyme that can degrade keratin substrates that are insoluble. This enzyme can hydrolyze hair, feathers, and collagen in the sewage system during wastewater treatment. Additionally, it is useful in the...
Applications of Phytase enzyme
Phytase enzyme is an important enzyme with nutrient content for monogastric livestock feed. It breaks down the phospho-monoester linkages present in phytate, a derivative of phytic acid that is the most abundant form of phosphorus (P) in plant cells. Monogastric...
Lactase Enzyme And Benefits
Lactase Enzyme And Its Benefits The lactase enzyme helps in hydrolyzing lactose, also known as milk sugar into two parts, that is glucose and galactose. It also helps in the digestion process when it comes to dairy items like cheese or milk. It is important to note...
