Use of Enzymes in Food Industry - Food industry utilizes a variety of enzymes for processing of various foods, e.g., production of various types of syrups from starch or sucrose (a- and β-amylases, glucamylase, pullulanase, invertase, and glucose isomerase), meat/protein processing using proteases, removal of glucose and or molecular oxygen (O2) using glucose oxidase and catalase, use of lactase in dairy industry and use of enzymes in fruit juice and brewing industries. The use of g1cose oxidase and catalase is briefly described heres.
Glucose oxides are obtained from A. Niger and Penicillium. It is a highly specific enzyme, which catalyzes the formation of gluconic acid from β - D- glucose in two separate steps, the second step being nonenzymatic spontaneous hydrolysis. Glucose oxidase is used for the removal of glucose or oxygen from the food stuffs in order to enhance their storability. Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) effectively kills bacteria; it can be eliminated by using catalase. An important application of these enzymes is in the processing of egg white for use in baking industry. The egg white is treated with a mixture of glucose oxidase and catalase; additional H2O2 (0.1 % w/w) is added to provide sufficient O2 for glucose oxidase action. The glucose present in egg white is oxidised, and the egg white is dried for use in baking. Other applications of this enzyme pair are in
(i) removal of O2 from the air present in the head space of bottled and canned drinks, and
(ii) reduction of non enzymic browning in wines and mayonnaises.

The suffix -ase indicates an enzyme, e.g. proteinase, dehydrogenase, hydrogenase, polymerase.
Yes, pepsinogen is an enzyme. Its role in the digestive process is to be converted into pepsin, which helps break down proteins into smaller peptides during digestion in the stomach.
Amylase is an enzyme that helps break down carbohydrates into simpler sugars in the body's digestive system. It is produced in the salivary glands and pancreas, and plays a crucial role in the digestion of starches and sugars in the food we eat.
Yes, ATP synthase is an enzyme that plays a key role in the production of ATP in cells.
No, acetyl CoA is not an enzyme. It is a molecule that plays a key role in metabolism by carrying acetyl groups between reactions in cells.

Enzyme are the type of protein which is being used in large number of chemical reaction starting from food,detergent and pharmaceutical to leather and textile industry thus is a simple way to remove decontamination and used in biosensor in protein engineering
fermentation
cheese,fermentation wine, beer, yogurt
An enzyme has the role of a catalyst but in biochemistry.
A saccharase, also known as invertase, is an enzyme which is used by bees to make honey, and in the food industry in order to soften chocolate.

proteases are used to pre-digest the protein in some baby foods. carbohydrases are used to convert starch into sugar syrup
Lipase is an enzyme that the body uses to break down fats in food so they can be absorbed in the intestines. Lipase is produced by the pancreas.
Peptidase is the enzyme that speeds up the break down of proteins found in food. Another enzyme is called pepsin.Protease
