Enzymes are proteins that act as biocatalysts for a large number of reactions. They function in the transformation of macromolecules to energy and new materials, besides for growth, repair and maintenance of cells. The important of enzyme are for the degradation of the complex molecules, pectin in the middle lamella and the primary cell walls of young plant cells (Kashyap et al., 2001). The technology of enzyme become an important part in food industry. Earlier, there was limited to small number
Introduction To meet the increasing demand of robust, high turnover, easily and economically available biocatalyst, research is always channelized to get novelty in enzyme or improvement of existing enzymes by engineering at gene and protein level [1]. Enzymes derived from microbial source are generally regarded as safe and they are functional at wide range of temperature, pH, salinity or other extreme conditions. Actinomycetes are one of the most diverse groups of microorganisms that are well characterized
Benefits and Risks of Biotechnology Biotechnology is technology applied in biology to improve lives and health in society. It is technology that harnesses cellular processes . These cellular processes can be applied in healthcare, agriculture, and industry to improve their effectiveness and efficiency . Biotechnology has a very heavy influence on life today . Healthcare Biotechnology is already benefitting over 350 million patients globally and treats heart attacks, strokes, breast cancer, leukemia
recent years. One is energy crisis caused by the squandering of petroleum fuel. Second problem is environmental problems such as greenhouse effect, global warming, etc. To deal with such problems, renewable sources, utilization technology and bioenergy production technology have been developed. Bioethanol as one of the biofuel can be blended in different proportions in automobiles with gasoline. Biobutanol is also a new biofuel (Liu, Wang, & Zhang, 2009). Production through ABE fermentation of acetone
1: Indian water scenario: With a rapidly expanding economy many changes are taking place in India today. Some of these changes will have substantial implications on India’s water future. Land use, cropping and water use patterns are changing, partly as responses to changing demographics and consumption patterns, and partly as responses to changing investment scenarios and economic growth. This report attempts to capture the trends of key drivers of water demand in the recent past, and assess their
The demand for starches arises largely from the paper, textile, construction and pharmaceutical industries. Food sector is one of the potential sector which is largely untapped due to legal restriction regarding the use of modified starches which results in low rate growing in food sector. The demand
FORMULATION DEVELOPMENT AND OPTIMIZATION OF EPALRESTAT CONTROLLED RELEASE TABLETS AND THEIR IN-VIVO KINETIC STUDIES 1. Introduction Epalrestat is derivative of carboxylic acid which is aldose reductase inhibitor, which is an enzyme of the sorbitol (polyol) pathway. When there are high levels of glucose in the body it reduces sorbitol accumulation within the cell which is the main cause of the complication of diabetes mellitus(Steele, Faulds et al. 1993). There are no medications available to treat
