Enzyme Technology (CSU063):- Introduction to Course and Syllabus  Topic to be Covered Today 1. Introduction to enzyme Technology 2. Course Background  Biotechnology: Future Science for Mankind Biotechnology is the process of using living organisms or their enzymes or their molecules to obtain products or to develop processes for welfare of mankind or human being. ✓ Medical Biotechnology Vaccines, Antibiotics & Drugs ✓ Agricultural Biotechnology Pest Resistant Crops & Plant and Animal Breeding ✓ Industrial Biotechnology Food and feed, chemicals, detergents, paper and pulp, textiles, biofuels, and biogas. ✓ Environmental Biotechnology Bioremediation; Air and quality monitoring ▪ India among the top twelve destinations worldwide for biotechnology. ▪ With over 2,700 biotech startups and more than 2,500 biotech companies, the country offers a genuinely cutting-edge and entrepreneurial (a person who sets up a business or businesses) ecosystem. ▪ Major role in the developments of food and agriculture, nutrition, health care, Startups are companies or ventures that are focused on a environment, and industrial growth in India. single product or service that the founders want to bring to market. ▪ Industry and academia promoting biotech initiatives.  Introduction to Enzyme Technology: a Subfield of Biotechnology Enzymes are natural proteins acting a catalysts speeding up all the biochemical processes in life. Enzyme technology broadly involves production, isolation, purification, and use of enzymes for the ultimate benefit of humankind. Study of industrial enzymes and their uses is called enzyme technology. Enzymes used since ancient times in the production of food products, such as cheese, sourdough, beer, wine and vinegar etc.  Significance of Enzyme Technology The products of enzyme technology will be useful for chemicals, pharmaceuticals, fuel, food or agricultural additives. Enzymes are also used to provide services, as in washing and environmental processes, or for analytical and diagnostic purposes Enzymes in the treatment of cancer, HIV and other deadly diseases. As per recent estimates, a great majority of industrially produced enzymes are useful in processes related to foods (45%), detergents (35%), textiles (10%) and leather (3%).  Course Description Course curriculum is divided into four units..
