Descriptionβ-D-glucose oxidoreductase (Glucose Oxidase, referred to as GOD) is an aerobic dehydrogenase that can specifically oxidize β-D-glucose into gluconolactone in the presence of oxygen, and consume oxygen at the same time , generating hydrogen peroxide, gluconolactone further forming gluconic acid.
Mechanism
As a food additive, glucose oxidase can convert glucose and remove residual oxygen ─ ─ maintain the function of food color, aroma, and taste, stabilize product quality, and extend storage time. The glucose oxidase system can oxidize the sulfhydryl group (-SH) in the gluten molecule into disulfide bonds (-S-S-), thereby enhancing the strength of gluten, improving the ductility of dough, increasing the volume of bread, and can replace the carcinogenicity to the human body. The role of potassium bromate (KbrO4). In the production of noodles, glucose oxidase helps to form a better protein network structure between gluten proteins, which increases the noodles' bite strength.
