Green Chemistry and Catalysis

Bio Catalysis

Bio catalysis is defined as the use of natural substances like enzymes from biological sources or whole cells to speed up chemical reactions. Enzymes have crucial role in the catalysis of many reactions that include production of alcohols from fermentation and cheese by breakdown of milk proteins.

Recent advances in the field of scientific research have helped to understand the structure and functional activities of enzymes, which results an increase in their stability, activity, sustainability, and substrate specificity. At present, there are hundreds of different bio catalytic processes that have been executed in various industries like pharma, chemical, food, and agro-based industries. In embracing bio catalysis as a mainstream technology for chemical production, we will be introducing a technology that is

• Greener
• reduces pollution and cost
• creates greater sustainability
