glucose isomerase

24
Q

What are 5 important oxidoreductases in food processing?

A
  1. polyphenol oxidase
  2. peroxidase
  3. lipoxygenase
  4. glucose oxidase
  5. ascorbic acid oxidase
25
Q

What oxidoreductase enzyme is heat stable?

A

Peroxidase

26
Q

What should the peroxidase activity be in sterilized broccoli compared to normal? What would it mean if the peroxidase levels were the same?

A
  • low because high heat used for long time

- most likely used sterilization or blanching, not high heat treatment

27
Q

Peroxidase is used as an index for what?

A

High heat treatment
