Impact of Covid-19 on Industrial Enzymes Market
The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the importance of eating healthy and nutritious food with a balanced intake of enzymes and other energy sources. As a result, fortified foods & beverages infused with nutritional enzymes and other healthy ingredients are witnessing an increase in demand. The market for meat products is projected to record a considerably lower growth rate due to the aversions toward meat products among consumers. However, the demand for bakery & confectionery products, dairy products, and juices is projected to increase with the rise in health concerns and increase in awareness regarding enzyme-infused products.
Market Dynamics
Drivers: Switch toward renewable sources of energy lead to increasing consumption of bioethanol
The need for non-renewable sources, such as fossil fuels, has increased during the last few decades; hence, the search for sustainable and renewable alternative sources has gained growing interest. Enzymatic hydrolysis in bioethanol production presents a vital step, where sugars that are fermented are obtained in the final fermentation process. In countries with surplus agricultural capacity, ethanol produced from biomass can be used as a substitute, extender, or octane booster as an alternative for traditional motor fuels, such as gasoline, diesel, and kerosene. Bioethanol is prepared from agricultural waste containing corn stalks, leaves, bagasse of sugarcane, sugar beet, sorghum stalks, wheat, barley, rye, and by-products, such as whey from cheese making and potato processing waste streams.
Restraints: Action of enzymes restricted to various external factors
The action of enzymes is largely influenced by the surrounding environmental conditions. A decrease in temperature causes the reaction rate to drop drastically, while thermal agitation denatures the food enzyme (deteriorates the food enzyme structure), thereby making it non-functional. Varying the pH outside the operational range of the food enzyme also reduces the enzyme activity and can ultimately lead to permanent denaturation. Food enzyme manufacturers strive to produce enzymes that can operate in a wide temperature and pH range; however, there is still a long way to go if enzyme use has to be universally implemented in all food & beverages manufacturing processes.
Opportunities: Demand for natural substitutes of synthetic chemicals
Enzymes are recognized as alternatives to traditional chemicals and provide solutions to problems related to synthetic chemicals. Synthetic chemicals used in industrial processes threaten the environment as they are harmful. Enzymes, such as carbohydrases, which are derived from plants and microorganisms, have no negative impact on the environment as they work under mild conditions, thus reducing energy consumption and decreasing greenhouse gas emissions. Carbohydrases derived from plants and microorganisms are utilized in the textile, starch processing, and bioethanol production industries. The leather industry has switched to proteases and trypsin over lime and sulfides to obtain high yields with cleaner products. Amylase and protease are used in the bakery industry to get maximum output. Enzymes are also used to improve the nutritional value of food and feed products. Enzymes reduce water consumption and chemical waste and decrease by-product generation, posing negligible risks to humans and the ecosystem. Hence, the use of enzymes is considered cost-effective, safe, and environmentally friendly.
Challenges: High costs of raw materials limiting the usage of enzymes
Industrial enzymes catalyze chemical reactions as they increase the rate of reaction that approaches toward stability. Enzymatic processes used in various industrial applications result in reduced prices of end products. However, this change is limited by the high cost of raw materials used in enzyme manufacturing. Enzymes are highly temperature-sensitive and can be denatured by even a small increase in temperature. They also become toxic with a change in pH, as they are sensitive to external factors in the manufacturing process. Enzymes are expensive to produce as they perform reactions for a specific period. Additionally, contamination of the enzyme with other chemical substances used in food & beverages can affect the chemical reaction, which would result in huge wastages. Therefore, these factors result in a rise in costs involved while considering enzymes as raw material, thereby creating a challenge for the market.
Lyophilization Retaining The Nutritional Value
Lyophilization is also known as freeze-drying; it is a process of removing moisture from raw, frozen products through a vacuum system and sublimation. In the case of a lyophilized powder formulation, there is minimal thermal damage of protein since the entire process is carried out at a temperature less than 30 °C (86 °F). This process has the ability to produce clean, whole, and nutritious food ingredients with a high shelf-life, making products versatile, accessible, and convenient. The lyophilized powder is produced using a unique combination of various coating technologies. This, in turn, leads to effective encapsulation of the enzyme, which isolates it from the environment. This kind of formulation retains the nutritional value better than other drying methods without affecting the actual color and shape of the original raw material, reassuring consumers they are getting real fruits & vegetables.
Increased Production in Lesser Time Boosting the Industrial Usage of Microbial Enzymes
Microbial enzymes play a major role in the industrial enzymes market because they are more stable than plant and animal enzymes. They can be produced through fermentation techniques in a cost-effective manner with less time and space requirement, and because of their high consistency, process modification and optimization are easily done. Novel enzymes that cannot be extracted from plants and animals are derived from microorganisms and can be easily used. Enzymes are biocatalysts that play an important role in metabolic and biochemical reactions. Microbial enzymes are mainly produced by submerged fermentation and solid-state fermentation. The enormous diversity of microbial enzymes makes them an important source of raw materials for industrial applications, such as bioethanol, Paper & pulp, textile & leather, detergents, feed, and wastewater treatment. For example, the use of microbial enzymes in the Paper & pulp industry allows the secondary fiber structure to loosen up, releasing the embedded ink with reduced usage of alkali, chemicals, and detergents.
Increased Usage of Amylase Benefitting the Food & Beverage nd Textile Industries
Amylases are an important type of carbohydrases used to catalyze the hydrolysis of starch into sugars. They are among the main types of enzymes used in the industry to hydrolyze starch molecules into polymers composed of glucose units. Amylase breaks down carbohydrases (polysaccharides) into disaccharides and, ultimately, into monosaccharides, such as glucose. It is used in the baking industry as the addition of amylase to the dough, which enhances the rate of fermentation; this results in the reduction of the viscosity of dough, further improving the volume and texture of the product. Moreover, it generates additional sugar in the dough, which improves the taste, crust color, and toasting qualities of bakery products. Additionally, amylase usage in the textile industry benefits denim manufacturers in de-sizing and lowering operational costs; in the paper industry, amylases help de-inking and drainage improvement. These factors fuel the usage of amylases in industrial applications.
