Enzyme technology research work involves the recovery and stabilisation of proteolytic enzymes for use in the modification and upgrading of waste proteins for food use. An example is the enzyme bromelain which is recovered from pineapple stems and is used both in the meat industry for tenderisation of meatand in the brewing industry for clarification of beer. Other work is concerned with the application of lipase enzymes for reduction of fat-based waste in sewerage systems, and for biotransformation of lipids to produce biological surfactants for use in industry and commerce.
