COMMENTARY hide
LITERATURE
agriculture
-
chymotrypsin and potentially other serine proteases could be attractive candidates for the development of biocatalyst for the control of residual pesticides in the environment and on agricultural products
biotechnology
-
dependence of activity on pH and temperature makes chymotrypsin II a biotechnological alternative for food processing when low temperatures are needed like in fish ripening, fish sauce production, fish protein hydrolysate production and other emerging processes. This enzyme together with other proteases from sardine viscera may aid in the enzymatic treatment of stick-water, in which a reduction in viscosity is required for further processing of effluent

additional information
-
potential application value of the two chymotrypsins A and B where low processing temperature and higher enzymatic activity is needed
