For use in food.
Technical Information:
Glucose oxidase is produced from the Aspergillus species mold through fermentation.
The hydrogen peroxide released by glucose oxidase while breaking down the glucose sugar in the environment causes an oxidative effect on the dough.
It is especially recommended for use in production using mechanical cutting machines.
Benefits of glucose oxidase for bread and dough:
Ensures dough dryness,
Increases dough elasticity,
Provides ease of processing by hand or machine,
It ensures the smoothness of the bread shape and surface,
It increases the bread volume,
It supports the gluten structure,
It increases the stability,
It increases the resistance of dough damaged by sunn pests,
It eliminates the risk of dough melting and becoming watery.
It increases the resistance of the dough without causing shrinkage at the base.
It improves oven bounce (dough placed in the oven initially increases by 1 3 of its volume, and this is called oven bounce).
It whitens the flour and improves the gluten structure. After the carcinogenic effects of bromate used in fortification processes were identified and banned, glucose oxidase and fungal alpha amylase enzymes began to be used as alternatives to bromate.
Studies conducted at FAGEM (Bakery Research and Development Center) have shown that the use of glucose oxidase depends on very sensitive criteria. It has been observed that high usage levels have negative effects on dough properties.
Activity
55–65 C is the temperature range in which it is most active.
It rapidly loses activity above 65 C.
It is active at pH levels between 4.0 and 6.5.
Other Uses
Glucose oxidase prevents rancidity by capturing oxygen in dissolved or headspace form in foods. Due to its low cost and high stability, it is a commercially important enzyme used in the food industry, clinical chemistry, and biotechnology. This enzyme is used as an analytical reagent, particularly in the determination of glucose.
It is also used in citrus juices, colas, sodas, beer, wine, mayonnaise, and salad dressings.
Glucose oxidase is also present in high amounts in honey and acts as a natural preservative. Glucose oxidase, found on the surface of honey, reduces atmospheric oxygen to hydrogen peroxide, resulting in the formation of an antimicrobial barrier.
