Boston, MA -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/30/2014 -- Protein Hydrolysis Enzymes Market by Sources (Microorganisms, Animals, Plants), Applications (Detergent Industry, Pharmaceuticals, Food Industry and Others), & Geography (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific & ROW) - Global Trends & Forecasts to 2019

The enzymes which are very specific to protein hydrolysis are protease enzymes and they are classified under the "hydrolases group". Protease enzymes refer to a group of enzymes whose catalytic function is to hydrolyze (breakdown) proteins. These enzymes represent one of the three largest groups of industrial enzymes; others being amylases and lipases. Protease enzymes mainly find their applications in detergents, food, pharmaceuticals, and bioremediation processes. The worldwide requirement of enzymes for individual applications varies considerably. Technical enzymes for detergent, paper & pulp, and textile manufacturing have the largest segment with approximately 52% market share with the largest share of the enzymes market held by alkaline proteases. The global protease enzymes market is growing at a CAGR of 5.3% from 2014 to 2019.
