Specification:
Enzyme Biotechnology Kit
The development and application of new industrial enzymes is a major
growth area in biotechnology. The use of micro-organisms which secrete
large quantities of enzymes has in most cases replaced the more
expensive traditional sources. The kit gives students an insight into
the use of enzymes by industry.
Experiments include:
Rennet in cheese production
Protease in meat tenderisers;
Enzymes in washing powders
Demonstration of pectinase in fruit juice production
