Oxidation/reduction of substances
Transferases
Transfer of functional groups
Hydrolases
Cleavage of bonds with water
Lyases

Rearrangements
Function of Invertase
Turns sucrose into glucose and fructose
Glucosidase
Invertase from glucose side
Fructosidase
Invertase from fructose side
Function of lactase
Turns lactose into glucose and galactose
Benefits of lactase
Improvement of sweetening power, solubility and digestibility
Alfa amylase role
Cleaves alfa 1,4 linkages
Beta amylase role
Releases maltose from the non reducing end
Glucoamylase role
Cleaves individual glucoses
Iso amylase and pullulanase role
Cleave 1,6 linkages
Cellobiohydrolase role
Releases 2 glucoses from a chain ed
Endoglucanase
Cleaves random middle of chain
Beta glucosidase and cellobiase
Fully degrade into glucose
Polyglacaturonase
Cleaves middle of LM pectin
Pectate lyase
Cleaves middle of LM pectin
Pectin lyase
Cleaves HM pectin
Effects of lipoxygenase
Loss of nutritional value, color and formation of aroma compounds
Role of lipoxygenase
FA with cis cis 1-4 pentadiene into hydroperoxides
Role of lipases
Hydrolysis of triglycerides into glycerol and fatty acids
2 mechanisms catalyzed by PPO
Hydroxylation (adding OH group) and dehydrogenation (-OH to =O)
