PLANT ENZYMES: EXTRACTION AND BIOTECHNOLOGICAL APPLICATIONS

Abstract

The manuscript describes the current analytical methodologies used in obtaining plant enzymes for biotechnological applications. The isolation and partial purification methods are reported, summarized in chromatographic electrophoretic techniques. The importance of these enzymes in biotechnology research, with a focus on its applications, characteristics and peculiarities, are emphasizing either. With regard to the applicability, the article brings several examples in food production, manufacturing and production of biosensors for determination of various analytes. About bioremediation, we aimed on pollutant removal of the natural environment and its conversion into less harmful products, using those plant enzymes. Industrial interests are also discussed.
