Enzymes have always been known as natural catalyst . They are consist of many types consist of proteins that work to speed up any chemical reaction required for a specific action or nutrient. This function is very important and desire in almost all fields in our life , starting from our dairy products , with no end line , because its almost everywhere . a question raise up here , what are the application of these enzymes in industry field ? how important are enzymes in industry ?. In this report we will highlight the application of enzymes in six different industrial fields , which are : dairy , paper, textile, bio-fuel, fruits juice, and detergents respectively .
In dairy manufacturer, some enzymes are needed for the production of yogurt, …show more content…

To ripened cheeses we have to add the external lipases during the production to increase flavor. Lipases enzyme are obtained from throat of sheep, goat and cow which enhance flavor of cheese .
3) catalase enzyme
Catalase enzyme are general terms used in one particular area of cheese production. Hydrogen peroxide is a strong oxidizer and poisonous to cells so Its used instead of pasteurization for making certain cheeses. in order to maintain natural milk enzymes that are useful to the end product and cheese taste development .However, remaining part of hydrogen peroxide in the milk will prevent bacterial cultures that are required for production of actual cheeses. Catalase is an enzyme that obtain from microbial sources or cow livers.
4) Rennet enzyme
This enzyme is used to break down protein to manufacture of cheese. chymosin is one of the most common enzyme isolated from rennet by cloning calf prochymosin genes into bacteria. This enzyme are extracted from stomachs of young ruminant animals (like lambs and calves ).
5) proteases …show more content…

With the increased demand of paper, 50% of tree is used in production of pulp by means of chemical and mechanical process. The trees are highly consumed in production of paper which drives the attention towards resource depletion. In care for resource depletion, science has invented the recycling process to save the resources and utilize the maximum of any resource by reuse of the product.(Buchholz, Kasche & Bornscheuer, 2012) In the process of paper recycling, the paper and and water is mixed and chemicals are used to dissolve the paper into pulp. Pulp is then sieved to remove plastic bits and glue globs by mans of mechanical screening process. The distinctive colour of pulp in the recycling process is washed away in the process of deinking. Using enzymes such as cellulose Novozyme 342 and amylase Novozyme helps in losing the ink from paper fibres. The use of these enzymes helps in improving the removal and extent rate of the ink on the
