This proposal is a request to NSERC for funds to continue and extend our research program with its overall objective focused on investigating novel marine enzymes for potential uses as biotechnological tools for food processing and preservation. This is based on the need for enzymes for both food and non-food uses, such as food texture modification, production of beverages, oil extraction, flavors, dietetic foods, pharmaceuticals, detergents, textiles, biofuels, etc. The global market for enzymes is growing at a rate of about 6%/yr, and is predicted to generate about US$4.4bn by the year 2015. Of this amount, food grade enzymes are forecasted to constitute about 30% (http://www.bccresearch.com/report/enzymes-industrial-applications-bio030f.html). Thus, the enzyme industry is actively seeking novel and dynamic enzymes, and innovative methods to produce them cost-effectively. In this context, the marine ecosystem with its diverse and unique habitats that harbor a myriad of vertebrate, invertebrate and other species represents an excellent pool of unique enzymes that are suitable for applications under a wide range of conditions.

该提案是向NSERC的要求，要求资金继续并扩展我们的研究计划，其整体目标着重于研究新型海洋酶，以作为用于食品加工和保存的生物技术工具的潜在用途。这是基于对食物和非食品用途的酶的需求，例如食物质地修饰，饮料的产生，油萃取，口味，饮食食品，药品，药品，洗涤剂，纺织品，生物燃料等。酶的全球市场以大约6％的级别的价格增长，并以每年的价格增长了4.4 befter yr yr yr yr y 4.4 befte y 4.4 befte y 4.4 befte yr y 4.4 b n y 4.4 befterate yr yr y 4.4 befte y 4.4 b n y 4.4 b n y 4.4 b n bey yr。预测将构成约30％（http://www.bccresearch.com/report/enzymes-industrial-applications-bio030f.html）。因此，酶工业正在积极寻求新颖和动态的酶，以及创新的方法来成本有效地生产它们。在这种情况下，海洋生态系统具有多样化和独特的栖息地，这些栖息地具有无数的脊椎动物，无脊椎动物和其他物种，代表了适合在广泛条件下应用的独特酶的绝佳池。
