Enzyme Biotechnology Kit

The development and application of new industrial enzymes is a major growth area in biotechnology. The use of micro-organisms which secrete large quantities of enzymes has in most cases replaced the more expensive traditional sources. This kit gives students a fascinating insight into the use of enzymes by industry.

Experiments include:

• Rennet in cheese production

• Protease in meat tenderisers

• Enzymes in washing powders

Sufficient for fifteen students/groups, plus sufficient material to demonstrate pectinase in fruit juice production.
