Food grade invertase powder for sucrose conversion

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Invertase, also known as β-D-fructofuranosidefructohydrolase, β-fructofuranosidase, sucrase, saccharase. This enzyme catalyzes the hydrolysis of sucrose and related glycosides. This product is produced by submerged fermentation of Aspergillus oryzae. It is commercially important mainly due to its capability for the hydrolysis of sucrose into glucose and fructose, which finds widely applications in food and beverage industries.

 MECHANISM

Invertase hydrolyzes terminal non-reducing β -D-fructofuranoside residues in β-D-fructofuranosides. In the case of sucrose hydrolysis, it leads to the production of glucose and fructose, or invert sugar syrup. Invert sugar syrup is used instead of table sugar in baking, beverage, canning and dairy processes to avoid recrystallization issue.

 APPLICATION

The invertase is applied for its hydrolytic property to turn sucrose into invert sugar syrup that is sweeter and less likely to recrystallize, which brings benefits in extension of shelf life of baking, beverage, canning and dairy products.

PRODUCT SPECIFICATION 

*Color may vary from batch to batch. Color intensity is not an indication of enzyme activity.

 PRODUCT STANDARD

The product complies with GB1886.174.

 APPLICATION RECOMMENDATION

 Typically, 700g invertase will hydrolyze 1MT of sucrose solution (70%) completely in 6 hours at 50℃, or 300g enzyme in 12hrs under the same condition.

 The dosage has to be optimized based on each application, the raw material specifications, product expectation and processing parameters. It is better to begin the test with the convenient volume.

 SAFE HANDLING PRECAUTIONS

Enzyme preparations are proteins that may induce sensitization and cause allergic type of symptoms in susceptible individuals. Prolonged contact may cause minor irritation for skin, eyes or nasal mucosa. Any direct contact with human body should be avoided. If irritation or allergic response for skin or eyes develops, please consult a doctor.

 WARNINGS

Keep sealed after use every time to avoid microbial infections and inactivation of enzymes until its finish.
