Production of cellulase enzyme

📄 Project Abstract

Biotechnology offers an increasing potential for the production of goods to meet various human needs. In enzyme technology- a subfield of biotechnology- new processes have been and are being developed to manufacture both bulk and high value added products utilizing enzymes as biocatalysts in other to meet needs such as food (bread, cheese,beer, vinegar) fine chemicals (e.g amino acids, vitamins) and pharmaceuticals. Enzymes are also used to provide services, as in washing and environmental processes or for analytical and diagnostic purposes. The driving force in the development of enzyme technology, both in academia and in industry, has been and will continue to be development of new and better products, processes and services to meet these needs or the improvement of processes to produce existing products from new raw materials such as biomass. The goal of these approaches is to design innovative products and processes that not only are competitive but also meet criteria of sustaina...
