Abstract

Nanotechnology has leveraged the Industrial Biotechnology’s processes and products by inclusion of nanoscale materials in the bioprocessing application to make cost-effective recyclable biocatalyst at the industrial setting. Conventional recyclable enzymes, based on bulk supports, have been used in traditional industries; however, they have limitations of mass transfer and low enzyme loading that make enzymatic process unfavorable and inefficient for commercial applications.
With the intervention of functional nanoscale material in the range of 1–100 nm as a nanocarrier for industrial biocatalysts, enzymatic process becomes attractive for higher productivity due to higher enzyme loading, faster mass-transfer rate, and ease of bioseparation. The present chapter is focused on the nanobiocatalyst design and subsequent application in food industry, with reference to concentrating omega-3 fatty acid.
