Enzyme-based biomaterial conversion technology
- Compared to chemical synthesis, biological enzymatic conversion methods use room temperature and pressure, so they consume less energy.
- Enzymes have high specificity and precision, so they do not produce separate by-products, making complex chemical purification steps unnecessary.
- Biological method has the advantage of being friendly to the human body and the environment.
- Yeast is used to mass-produce highly active enzymes inexpensively and to ensure economic feasibility of production by repeatedly reusing the enzymes.
