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