Study Notes
Dairy Industry
- Renin hydrolyzes the peptide linkage between phenylalanine and methionine.
- Renin also causes Ca2+ induced aggregation.
- Lipases hydrolyze ester bonds between glycerol backbone and fatty acids.
- Proteases make yogurt products creamier.
- Proteases also hydrolyze whey proteins and make dairy products less allergenic.
- Lactase breaks down lactose into glucose and galactose.
Starch Industry
- Amylase is an endo enzyme that acts randomly on α-1,4 linkages.
- Amylase ultimately generates glucose, maltose, and maltotriose.
- Isomerases convert sugars to more sweeter fructose sugars.
- Isomerases are used in sugar syrups.
- Invertase is used in starch industries which convert sucrose into glucose & fructose
- Lactase acts on lactose and converts it into glucose and galactose.
Enzymes in Leather Manufacture
- Proteases enhance water uptake by dissolving intra fibrillary proteins that cement the fibers together and prevent water penetration.
- Lipases are used to disperse fats as an alternative to degreasing with solvents.
- These enzymes hydrolyze surface fats and those within the structure of the hides and skins, but without causing any physical damage.
