>>14252085>why haven't we seen a mainstream market for them?We have. Enzymes are a part of everyday life, anon. Just about every cleaner on earth has some sort of enzyme formulation. Everything from shampoo to skin-cream to cosmetics, toothpaste have enzymes. Have you ever made cheese before? I have. You add an enzyme called Rennet to start the process. Rennet is used in almost all cheese-making. If you've eaten cheese, it had purified rennet used to make it, almost surely. Almost every processed food you buy has some purified enzymatic process use for it. In large-scale baking, there are a number of enzymes used for break-making.
The everyday market is usually the business-2-business sale of purified enzymes to downstream companies to be used in their produce which are then marketed to you without you knowing they contain enzymes. This is because the generic public does not give a fuck, so marketing enzymes is useless-ish.
But also, a lot of enzymes are unstable and break down when not in their favored environment, so there is a cap on what enzymes are useable in different settings.
