Global Proteases Market: Overview

A protease is also known as proteinase or peptidase, it is an enzyme, which undergoes protein catabolism by hydrolysis of peptide bonds. Various classes of the protease undergo the same reaction by completely different catalytic mechanisms. It can be found in viruses, animals, archaea, plantae, bacteria, and fungi. Different types of proteases are available which include clostripain, ficain, papain, asclepian, and others. Diverse mechanisms of proteases consist of metalloproteases, serine proteases, glutamic acid proteases, cysteine proteases, and others. In order to enhance their performance proteases from bacterial or, fungal sources are genetically modified by deleting or transferring genes. The result of the genetically engineered proteases has modified pH, enhanced catalytic activities, temperature levels, and stability. Protease is also used in various applications such as rubber, contact lens cleaners, biofuels, molecular biology, paper, biological detergents, and photography.

Global Proteases Market: Growth Factors

Proteases are broadly used in the food applications such as bakery, it is added to improve gluten development and is also used in the dairy wherein it assists in milk coagulation; these are the factors that will drive the global proteases market. Other food applications include yeast hydrolysis, animal protein processing, and seafood processing. The high demand for proteases for cleaning formulation from detergent industries is anticipated to boost the global proteases market growth. Protease plays a key role in food and pharmaceutical applications. Protease enzymes are assorted ingredients, which are used in the many FMCG products, it also helps to reduce manufacturing costs and improve digestibility of food product. It is non-pathogenic, non-toxic, and eco-friendly in nature that adds to the benefits of the proteases thus driving its demand.
