Abstract
Enzymes are proteins that act as highly efficient catalysts in biochemical reactions. This catalytic capability is what makes enzymes unique and they work efficiently, rapidly, and are biodegradable. The use of enzymes frequently results in many benefits that cannot be obtained with traditional chemical treatments. These often include higher product quality and lower manufacturing cost, less waste, and reduced energy consumption. Industrial enzymes represent the heart of biotechnology processes and biotechnology (Whitehurst and van Oort 2009; Sabalza et al. 2014)
