Product name:Glucose oxidase
CAS:9001-37-0
Specification:10ku
Description:
The glucose oxidase enzyme (GOx) (EC 1.1.3.4) is an oxido-reductase that catalyses the oxidation of glucose to hydrogen peroxide and D-glucono-δ-lactone. In cells, it aids in breaking the sugar down into its metabolites.
Glucose oxidase is widely used for the determination of free glucose in body fluids (diagnostics), in vegetal raw material, and in the food industry. It also has many applications in biotechnologies, typically enzyme assays for biochemistry including biosensors in nanotechnologies. It is often extracted from Aspergillus niger.
Glucose oxidase is a near white powder to brown liquid. Soluble in water, almost insoluble in ethanol, chloroform and ether.
Oxidase is an enzyme compound, mainly used in milk, cheese, eggs, drinks and salads.
Glucose oxidase can be used to remove glucose from protein and prevent protein products from discoloration and deterioration in the storage process. The maximum usage is 500mg/kg. The maximum amount of deoxygenation in the beverage is 10mg/kg to prevent color darkening and metal dissolution.
Glucose oxidase is also used in biochemical research, clinically used as diagnostic enzyme for the analysis of Glucose, for the preparation of urine sugar and blood Glucose test paper, used as stabilizer for vitamin C and B12 preparations in the pharmaceutical industry, and can also be used for protein deicing and storage of canned wine.
Glucose oxidase is often used in diagnosis. Glucose analysis. The removal of excess glucose or oxygen is a stabilizer of vitamin C and B12 preparations. Make urine sugar and blood sugar test paper. Glucose oxidation test reagent for determination of blood glucose by oxidase method.
