How much do you know about enzymes?

Enzymes are ubiquitous in our daily life, our food may contain a large number of natural enzymes, such as the recent popularity of the Japanese enzyme, its main active ingredient is the enzyme, at present, many medicines, health care products, food, as well as the market gradually began to popularize part of the cleaning fluid contains enzymes, as early as 100 years ago there are enzyme-containing detergents, and in 1971, enzyme-enzymed detergent In 1971, the safety of enzyme-containing detergents was confirmed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and an international conference held in the United Kingdom. Nowadays, in order to ensure the safety of enzyme-containing products (enzyme products), national government agencies and the World Health Organization have very detailed regulations on enzyme-containing products (enzyme products). (1) All enzyme preparations prepared from the tissues of edible parts of animals and plants, as well as those produced using strains of bacteria used in traditional food processing, can be treated as food and do not need to be subjected to toxicological tests. For example, rennet from calves and sheep, and papain from papaya are considered safe; enzymes from yeast and Lactobacillus niger are also considered safe. (2) All enzymes produced by non-pathogenic microorganisms need to do short-term toxicity tests. Among them, the enzyme from Bacillus subtilis is generally considered safe. (3) For enzymes produced by non-common microorganisms, extensive toxicity tests are required. Enzyme products with national production licenses and test reports are generally safe. At present, enzymes have been used in the fields of food (food additives), medicine (cleaning surgical instruments), agriculture (fertilizers), energy, household cleaning (Bagmey Bio-enzyme Cleaning Solution), etc. It is believed that enzymes will be integrated into all aspects of our daily life in the near future. Bio-enzyme cleaning solution can effectively decompose oil and dirt, without any chemical additives, after cleaning off the stains can decompose the stains safe and environmentally friendly, truly a wash and care in one. Enzymes can change the reaction pathway, thus reducing the activation energy and speeding up the reaction rate. Bio-enzyme is the same, it can combine with the reactants to change the reaction process, and bio-enzyme activity is high, the catalytic efficiency is higher. Aerobic respiratory enzymes catalyze the decomposition of glucose : first combined with glucose, easy to decompose, and after complete decomposition, the biological enzyme detached.
