Abstract

Green chemistry, an emerging field of science, focuses on the prevention of waste and the use of hazardous substances. It also emphasizes the elimination or reduction of the use of harmful elements in various stages of the manufacturing process or a product development setting. The unpredictable climatic changes and the environmental hazards produced by the industries made the researcher’s attention in this arena. At present, industries make an effort to produce their products greener. As a consequence, several biotechnological and biological applications join hands with green chemistry, making the manufacturing process not only greener but also economical. Enzymes are the result of the combination of green chemistry and biotechnology. In the current scenario, there is a need for new versatile enzymes to develop sustainable and economically competitive production processes. The present article reviews the types of enzymes obtained from plants and microorganisms used in different industries and their vital role in the conservation of an eco-friendly environment.
