Abstract

One of the factors that hinders the use of enzyme for industrial processes is their cost. Since enzymes are catalyst, they are not consumed during reactions. If enzymes are used as free form, they should be recovered after the reaction for reuses. The remaining enzymes might also contaminate the product if it is not separated during purification steps.
