Enzyme

In daily chemical products, “enzymes” usually do not refer to a single chemical substance, but rather to a class of functional ingredients associated with microbial fermentation, enzymatic transformation, or enzyme activity. They can be used in facial cleansers, body washes, shampoos, ...

Enzymes are highly efficient and specific biological catalysts, most of which are proteins. They can significantly accelerate the rate of biochemical reactions without altering the reaction equilibrium.

Dehydrogenases function as enzymes responsible for oxidizing and reducing carbonyl groups, particularly alcohols. These enzymes primarily rely on NAD(P)H for their activity. In the reduction process of aldehydes and ketones, baker yeast is frequently employed.

Enzymes are very powerful catalysts that use complex active sites to process chemical transformations. The tremendous rate acceleration and unparalleled selectivity that can be achieved by enzymes make them attractive catalysts that can be used in sustainable manufacturing processes. The field ...
