1. Many important enzyme processes involve the use of freely dissolved enzymes in solution.
2. Proteases are particularly important for their use in food processing, the leather industry and detergents.
3. Starch hydrolysis is the major industrial enzymic bioconversion. Different products and process conditions result in the production of different materials with various properties and uses.
4.  A number of enzymes have useful therapeutic properties. Ways are being found to present them successfully to patients.
