Extremophilic Microorganisms as a Source of Emerging Enzymes for the Food Industry: A Review. [PDF]
Food Sci NutrEnzymes such as amylases, lipases, proteases, xylanases, laccases, pullulanase, chitinases, pectinases, esterases, isomerases, and dehydrogenases could be derived from extremophilic organisms like thermophiles, psychrophiles, acidophiles, alkaliphiles, and halophiles. These enzymes or extremozymes are applicable in the production of safe foods (such as
