Ppt 3 Flashcards
What enzyme causes browning?
PPO - Polyphenol Oxidase
What compound gives the brown color after enzymatic browning?
Melanin
Show enzymatic browning equation

What are 2 undesirable effects caused by enzymes in food?
Browning & Spoilage
What is spoilage
Texture, flavour, and safety change
What are 5 examples of enzymes that cause spoilage?
- Pectinase + glycosidase
- Lipoxygenase (lox)
- Protease
- Lipase
- Histadine Decarboxylase
Ex. of a reaction that Lipoxigenase catalyses?
Unsaturated fatty acids + O2 –(lox)–> fatty acid hydroperoxidase
What do Pectinase + glycosidase catalyze? What structure does this produce?
hydrolyze the pectin and starch – soft texture
What does Lipoxigenase cause? Example
causes oxidized odor in food “beany flavour in beans”
What do proteases form?
bitter peptides in protein foods
What process can be used to “de-bitter” foods affected by protease?
intensive hydrolysis
What does histidine decarboxylase catalyze?
Histidine –> histamine + CO2 - TOXIC/SAFETY ISSUE
PPO gives brown color to what 2 drinks?
coffee, black tea
What 3 enzymes affect flavour?
LOX, Lipases, Proteases
What enzyme affects color?
PPO
What are 3 sources of industrial enzymes? What % do they make up?
- Microorganisms (80-90%)
- Animal (6-8%)
- Plant (3-5%)
What 2 enzymes are used to make cheese?
- Rennet
2. Pepsin
