Abstract
Microbial protease is an enzyme used in various industries such as food, textile, waste, detergent, animal feed, leather, dairy, brewing and others. It also used in baking industry for the production of baked foods, bread, crackers and waffles. Microbial proteases are widely used because of its nature friendly indicator and they can handle extreme conditions and control autoproteolytic activity. It was considered an alternative to chemicals. The enzymes were used in food preparations by many food industries. Proteases plays important role in food industry. It was produced from many sources such as soil, plant(vegetable) and microbial sources. From soil, bacillus subtilis (bacteria) are collected and used for the production of proteases and optimized in food industry. Due to high demand for proteases, production line is increased. How the microbial proteases are produced from bacillus subtilis (from soil sample) and its application in the food industry were discussed in this review. Microbial proteases have become more important in the food industry due to its specific properties, such as high production yield, substrate specificity, high activity, pH and temperature optima. Proteases have wide range of temperature (20C-80C) which increases the fields application. Proteases can be obtained from animal, plants, and microorganisms such as Bacteria, fungi, viruses. In industry, various enzymes are produced using bacillus subtilis. Protease enzymes are the main enzymes produced from bacillus subtilis. The main sources for the production of protease is found mainly in soil. The proteases are widely used in food, detergents, pharmaceuticals, leather, agriculture industries.
