Enzyme Biotechnology Kit

The use of micro-organisms which secrete large quantities of enzymes has 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
