Source Enzymes (CEDs000303)

Enzymes are biological catalysts that accelerate chemical reactions and are widely used in various applications, including the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and veterinary products. However, their use can lead to synthetic chemical contamination through several pathways, including the release of residual enzyme proteins or co-factors during manufacturing processes. Additionally, enzyme-based processes may generate by-products that can be chemically active or harmful. Proper management and regulatory oversight are essential to mitigate the potential environmental and health impacts associated with enzyme contamination in industrial settings.
