In this article we will discuss about the role of microorganisms in brewing and making of cheese. The enzymes carry on hydrolysis of polysaccharides to monosaccharide’s or in glycolysis lead to formation of ethanol. In brewing also the starting material is the polysaccharide starch while in wine making the starting material is generally mono or disaccharides. The largest carbohydrates fermented [...]
Everything you need to know about enzyme technology. Some of the most frequently asked questions are as follows:- Q.1. How have new strains of yeast been possible by recombinant DNA technology? Ans: The new strains of yeasts which show amylolytic activity have been prepared using recombinant DNA technology. To achieve this objective glucoamylase genes from Aspergillus, β-1, 3/1, 4- glucanase [...]
In this article we will discuss about the medical applications of enzymes in analysis and therapy. About 50 different enzymes are being used for clinical diagnoses. Two of the major enzymes are peroxidases from horseradish and alkaline phosphatase from beef intestinal mucosa. Both of these are required for immunoassays. The enzymes are used in test strips, EL1SA, biosensors and auto-analyzers. [...]
