enzymes in food production

Holoenzyne (protein part) (Non protein part) (Active enzyme) The prosthetic groups which get attached to the enzyme at the time of reaction are known as coenzymes. Active site of an enzyme binds the substrate and forms Enzyme substrate complex. Active site is..

One of the primary objectives of agriculture is to produce food. In the entire history of agriculture, food production has remained a prime objectiv..

Enzymes in general exhibit the following properties Enzymes are basically proteins. They are globular proteins with a very huge molecular weight. For example, the molecular weight of pyruvic dehydrogenase is 4,600,000! Enzymes can only accelerate a chemical reaction. h..

The formation of ES complex is fast and reversible, while the formation of the product (step 2) is the slow, rate determining step. The rate of enzyme catalyzed reaction changes from first order to zero order as the concentration of the substrate is increase..

Technologies to Improve Food Production - Many technologies are generated out of intensive agricultural research, to increase the food production. They are grouped in three broad groups namely crop improvement, crop protection and crop production. T..

Introduction - All living organisms need food for their existence. They need food for their growth, repair of tissues, energy and also protection against diseases. The various components of food are proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, minerals, roughage and water...

Soil is the medium for plant growth, it provides anchorage to plants Soil provides nutrients, major and minor, to plants for their growth and development, circulating the nutrients into biological system by means of mineral weathering. Soil harbours the microorganisms such as bacteria and f..

Food Standards - To prevent adulteration and to maintain availability of good quality food stuff, the government has set up certain institutions for standardization. They are: Codex Alimentarius Prevention of Food Adulteration Act (PFA) The Agmark Standards Bureau of I..
