About this Research Topic
Enzyme biotechnology is a widely used technology in the food and nutraceutical industries. Enzymes play a crucial role in food processing by enhancing quality, improving taste, and extending shelf life. They are also employed in the beverage industry, the production of health products, vitamins, coenzymes, flavor enhancers, and sweeteners.
Given the significant potential of enzyme biotechnology in these industries, we have prepared the Research Topic, "Application of Enzyme Biotechnology in Food and Health Products," to facilitate the application of excellent research results by enzyme biotechnology researchers in the food and nutraceutical sectors.
• Application of Enzyme Technology in Food Processing: This includes, but is not limited to, the role of enzymes in food processing, their application in improving food quality and preservation, and studies on enzymes to enhance nutrients in food. Additionally, enzyme engineering for producing new bioactive molecules and biomaterials for the food and health product industries will be explored.
• Enzyme Technology Innovation in Health Products: This area will explore new applications of enzymes in the manufacture of health products, such as their potential in nutraceuticals, medical products, and biopharmaceuticals. It also includes studying the role of enzymes in regulating human metabolism and immune function.
• The Role of Enzyme Technology in Food Safety and Quality Control: This section examines how enzymes contribute to food safety and quality control, including their application in detecting and processing contaminants and hazardous substances in food.
• Development of Environmentally Friendly Enzyme Technologies: This discussion focuses on developing and applying environmentally friendly enzyme technologies to reduce resource consumption and environmental pollution in food processing and health product manufacturing.
• Enzyme Engineering and Technological Innovations: This area emphasizes new technologies and methods in enzyme engineering, such as enzyme modification and optimization, biocatalysis, industrial production techniques, and the discovery and application of novel enzymes.
