Abstract

Marine algae are bestowed with the surfeit of bioactive molecules that play an important role in the field of food and pharmaceuticals for its idiosyncratic properties and prodigious applications. The bioactive compounds have a wide application in food and nutraceuticals as preservatives, additives, functional supplements, and so on. Marine algae are specially recognized for its unprecedented enzymes that are comparatively unique from terrestrial-derived enzymes. This chapter deals with the marine algae-derived enzymes, its biotechnological applications, interaction with human metabolism and innovations in enzyme technology. Further, manifestation and biomanufacturing of marine algae-derived enzymes are also discussed. This chapter also highlights the rapid advancement in marine algae-derived enzymes and the need for collaborative research for the better assessment of marine environment.
