Purpose: Amylases are environmentally attractive enzymes and are employed in food processing technology; for example, the starch hydrolysis process is used for glucose syrup production. The use of biocatalysts attached to ...

The objective of this study was to examine the effect of the enzymatic degumming process on composition of crude sunflower oil. To analyze the crude and degummed oils, different parameters were determined. Phosphorous ...

Lipases are well-known biocatalysts used in several industrial processes/applications. Thus, as with other enzymes, changes in their surrounding environment and/or their thermodynamic parameters can induce structural changes ...

Here, we report the effect of polyethylene glycol (PEG6000)-induced molecular crowding (MC) on the catalytic activity and thermal stability of Kluyveromyces lactis β-galactosidase (β-Gal). The β-Gal-catalyzed hydrolysis ...

Microbial β-glucosidases have been used for the enhancement of wine aroma. Nevertheless, few enzymes are active in the conditions of winemaking. In this work, the production of a β-glucosidase by an Aureobasidium pullulans ...

This study concerns the application of enzymatic hydrolysis to modifying starchy and cellulosic materials. Corn, cassava, upright elephant ear and sugarcane bagasse were used in order to evaluate the influence of the ...

The yeast β-galactosidase or lactase [EC 3.2.1.23] (β-Gal) is a soluble enzyme capable of catalyzing lactose hydrolysis into its constitutive monosaccharides: glucose and galactose. This enzyme has a commercial application ...
