Description
Glucose oxidase is refined by Aspergillus niger through deep fermentation, and is an almost white to light yellow powder or yellow to brown liquid. Dissolved in water, the aqueous solution generally appears light yellow. Almost insoluble in ethanol, chloroform, and ether. It can remove glucose, deoxygenate, and kill bacteria.
It can be widely used in industries such as gluconic acid, flour, baked goods processing, and pharmaceuticals.
Product Feature
Product appearance: Light yellow powder, the colour may vary from batch to batch.
Product odor: slight odor of fermentation
Standard enzyme activity: no less than 10,000U/g
Enzyme activity definition: One Glucose Oxidase unit is defined as the quantity of enzyme that will produce 1µmol hydrogen peroxide in Phosphate buffer per minute under the condition at 37℃ and pH6.0.
Application
Flour improvement: When Glucose Oxidase is added into flour, the sulfur group in gluten protein will be oxidized to form disulfide bond, so as to strengthen the network structure of the dough and make the dough have good elasticity and mechanical stirring resistance. The recommended quantity is add 20-60g/T flour.
Gluconic acid: It can be used in enzymatic production of gluconic acid and its salts, which should be used together with Catalase.
Alcohol brewing: In beer, It can remove the dissolved oxygen and convert the glucose into gluconic acid, to prevent beer aging and improve its stability.
Food preservation: Glucose oxidase can also be used in fruit juice preservation, tea preservation, etc.. By removing the oxygen in food to produce hydrogen peroxide, it can achieve the purpose of antibacterial and antiseptic and extend the shelf life of food.
