Recent developments in the fields of genetic engineering and protein chemistry are bringing ever more powerful means of analysis to bear on the study of enzyme structure and function that will undoubtedly lead to the rational modification of enzymes to match specific requirements and also the design of new enzymes with novel properties. The enzyme market and number of competitive enzyme based processes is growing rapidly, because of cheaper production methods, new application fields, and new enzymes from microbes. The possibility to dramatically change enzyme properties by directed evolution and gene shuffling, and efficient methods to screen for new enzymes in the environment, makes it feasible to use enzymes that are specifically tailored to their application and process conditions. We expect that enzyme technology is close to a major breakthrough, owing to many factors ranging from simple cost savings, the strongly increasing demand for chiral chemicals, the trend towards sustainable industrial development (less waste, less CO2), and last, but not least, the opportunities created by emerging technologies
In present book, chapter 1 introduces the scope of industrial enzymes in various industries. Chapter 2 describes the nature of Lignocelluloses and applications of Lignocellulases in various sectors. Chapter 3 elobarates properties and applications of microbial Xylanases, while chapter 4 gives emphasis on microbial Inulinases. Chapter 5 discusses physicochemical properties and applications of Glucose Isomerases. Chapter 6 elaborates scope and applications of Lipases in various fields.
The contents of the book will be useful to the students of Biotechnology, Industrial Microbiology, Pharmaceutical science and technology, Food science and technology, Agricultural sciences, Dairy science and technology, Public health sciences, Textile technology, Leather technology etc.
