Microwave technology: Niche market in enzymatic reaction systems

Microwave irradiation is widely used as a source of heating in various applications such as food processing as well as many organic synthesis systems. the technique offers a simple,clean,fast,efficient,and economic process,providing momentum for many researches to switch from using traditional heating to the mmicrowave assisted irradiation method. in recent years,the microwave assisted organic reaction technique has emerged as a new tool and has enabled chemists to achieve cleaner and more efficient chemical reactions with higher yields compared to conventional heating methods. however,not many reviews have described the potential application of chemical synthesis that uses enzymes as catalyst,especially in relation to the microwave processing aspects and their dielectric properties. this paper unveils the synergism effect achieved using the microwave irradiation technique on enzymatic synthesis under various optimal conditions.
