- Enzymes are
specialized proteins that accelerate (catalyze) chemical reactions and
are essential in all living systems. Without enzymes,
biological processes would occur much too slowly to sustain life. In
fact, enzymes are so powerful that one single enzyme can process a
million molecules every second.
-
Microbes, such as
bacteria or fungi, are abundant sources of unique enzymes and can be
found in almost every ecosystem, including oceans, deserts, rain forests
and arctic regions. Through generations of natural selection in these
extreme and diverse environments,
microbes have developed broad and varied characteristics which allow
them to survive in environments of extreme temperature, pressure,
pH and salinity. As a result, the microbial world provides a rich source
of highly diverse genetic material
-
Enzymes play a vital role
in a wide variety of commercial applications in the specialty industrial
processing, biofuels, and health and nutrition markets.
-
Production of biofuels,
such as ethanol, from non-food plant biomass requires enzymes to break
down the cellulose (the structural component of the primary cell wall of
green plants) and release sugars, which are then fermented by
specialized microorganisms to generate
ethanol.
-
Food and animal feed
applications continue to dominate the industrial enzymes market on a
worldwide basis
- Leading
applications are the manufacture of starch-derived syrups, alcoholic
beverages, dairy products and animal feed. Lesser applications are baked
goods, fruit and vegetable processing, protein processing and vegetable
oil extrac
-
Detergents are the next
most significant market outlet for industrial enzymes. Enzymes for
laundry detergents dominate this sector, followed by enzymes for
dishwashing detergents
- Textile enzymes
are the third most significant segment of this market.
- The major enzymes
in this category are enzymes for processing cotton and cellulosic
textiles, followed by enzymes for processing leather and fur. Enzymes
for silk and wool are minor
- Other outlets for
industrial enzyme applications include pulp and paper and chemicals
manufacture.
- US demand for
enzymes is forecast to rise over six percent per year to nearly $2
billion in 2010, bolstered
by strong gains in important markets such as pharmaceuticals, animal
feed and starch processing |
