Bromelain is a cysteine protease found in the stem and fruit of Ananas comosus (pineapple) and enables breakdown of serum and muscle proteins. It is being considered as a potential enzyme in the food industry for the purpose of meat tenderization. Structure prediction of stem bromelain of pineapple along with in silico modifications provides a new area of enzyme for industrial application. The stabilization of enzyme with glycosylation is an approach of stabilizing the enzyme at industrial high temperature conditions. The present studies on modeling of cysteine protease family enzyme has...

This study reports the production, purification and application of cellulases from Trichoderma viride under still culture liquid state fermentation technique using microcrystalline cellulose and cheap and easily available waste material, as growth supported substrate. Trichoderma viride was cultured in fermentation medium of cellulose under some previously optimized growth conditions. Cellulase was purified in comparison to crude enzyme extract using ammonium sulfate precipitation, dialysis and ion exchange column chromatography. The purified cellulase was compatible with four local detergent...
