Enzymes
At Maps, we produce are a versatile range of enzymes like amylases,
proteases, cellulases, xylanase, beta glucanase, glucoamylase
and Catalase; using the most sophisticated fermentation technologies.
We are India’s largest producer and exporter of industrial
enzymes. We sells a complex portfolio of nearly 60+ enzyme products
for industries like Textile, Leather, Baking, Alcohol, Brewing,
Detergent, Starch and Animal feed. Every year, about 5 new products
are launched on the market; either completely new type of enzyme
or existing enzymes adapted for new applications.
To know more about industrial applications of our enzymes you
can review below links which give a comprehensive presentation
of industries, applications and products. To learn more about
enzymes, there history and the way they are made, you can review

Textile
We provides a range of enzymes like amylases, cellulases, catalase,
pectinase and protease for various textile wet-processing applications
like desizing, bio-polishing, denim finishing, bleach clean-up,
bio-scouring and de-wooling.
We continuously develop our product line in order to have innovative
enzymes with unique performance features for existing and new
applications within the textile industry. Our R&D aims to
provide innovative products for fabric treatment reducing process
time, chemical consumption and energy costs in compliance with
sustainable development.

Leather
The leather industry is another major market for Maps’
enzymes. Maps offers a total enzyme solution for bating, un-haring,
degreasing and soaking in the beam-house processes. With the introduction
of our new range of products based on Microorganisms, we assure
to provide clean and green leather tanneries.

Baking / Alcohol / Brewing
Over the recent years, Maps has built up considerable expertise
in enzymes for the baking, alcohol and brewing industries. Some
notable successes are the launching of xylanase enzyme for baking
industry and beta glucanase enzyme for brewing industry.

Detergent
The main application of enzymes is in heavy-duty detergents
for household laundry. The majority of enzymes used in laundry
detergents are proteases for removing protein stains. They are
often used in combination with amylases for removing starch. Maps
has successful launched protease and lipase for detergents.

Starch
Starch processing is one of the oldest areas for the application
of enzymes. For instance, dextrose, high fructose corn syrups
are made using enzymes. They act as a substitute for ordinary
sugar in food and beverage processing. Maps’ future work
in starch processing will focus on optimising processes by developing
improved enzymes.

Animal feed
This is a large industry characterised by rapid growth in the
use of enzymes, which are now accepted as a standard ingredient
in many parts of the world. Maps has a range enzymes specially
designed for degrading different feed components in order to improve
the digestibility of nutrients.

New developments
There are a number of other industries with significant potential
of enzymes. This year, Maps is in the process to develop some
unique new enzymes for the pulp and paper industry where enzymes
can be used in the bleaching of pulp or in the de-inking of waste
paper for recycling. We shall also launching new enzymes for the
textile and leather industry for applications shall be de-gumming
in textile and anti-wrinkle in leather. Apart from these, emphasis
is put to develop enzymes for application in food and beverage
industries.
