Catalase Enzyme
Catalase is a crucial antioxidant enzyme found in nearly all living organisms. It protects cells from oxidative damage by rapidly catalyzing the decomposition of toxic hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) into harmless water (H₂O) and oxygen (O₂). It has one of the highest turnover rates of any enzyme.
Introduction
Catalase is an oxidoreductase enzyme that catalyzes the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen. It is widely used in food processing industries due to its highly efficient peroxide removal capability.
Catalase plays an essential role in protecting biological systems from oxidative damage caused by hydrogen peroxide accumulation. In industrial applications, it is commonly used for removal of residual hydrogen peroxide after sterilization, bleaching, and oxidation processes.
Source
Catalase is commonly produced through controlled microbial fermentation using selected microbial strains such as:
- Aspergillus Spp
- Micrococcus Spp
- Bacillus species
The enzyme is purified and standardized under controlled manufacturing conditions to ensure consistent activity, stability, and product quality.
