INTRODUCTICN A precise definition of the term enzyme technology has not yet but there is a tendency to limit it to non-growth been agreed upon, associated practices and to the use of modified or immobilised en- zymes. The enzymes used can vary from highly purified preparations to homogenised microorganisms or just centrifuged cells. The research and development going on in the field is illus- trated by three examples taken from activities in NOVO'S enzyme laboratories. They cover the use of enzyme technology in food pro- duction, the chemical process industry and ethanol fermentation. PRODUCTION OF SOY BEAN PROTEIN The supply of the fast expanding population of the world with adequate protein nutrient is one of the most crucial problems to day. The huge effort made in the 1960's and 1970's to develop pro- duction methods for single cell protein by fermentation of oil fractions and methanol has failed due to the rapid rising oil prices and it now looks as if the utilisation of vegetable protein is one of the most realistic ways of solving the TI - Enzyme technology and enzyme production JF - Biotechnology Letters DO - 10.1007/BF00162941 DA - 2004-06-28 UR - https://www.deepdyve.com/lp/springer-journals/enzyme-technology-and-enzyme-production-kHvd7L09rE SP - 177 EP - 184 VL - 2 IS - 4 DP - DeepDyve ER -
