INVERTASE Usage And Synthesis

Description

Invertase (also called beta-fructofuranosidase) is a kind of enzyme being capable of hydrolyzing sucrose into glucose and fructose. It is widely distributed inside the organism especially in plants and microbes. For example, yeast can be used as a major strain sources for the purification and production of this enzyme. Invertase is a kind of essential enzyme which helped us to digest sugars. It has various kinds of applications: (1) Being used as an antioxidant. (2) As an immune booster. (3) Being used for the treatment of stomach ulcers. (4) Used to kill harmful organisms. (5) Prevention of upper respiratory tract infections such as bronchitis, asthma and allergies. (6) Used for the treatment of cancer such as bone cancer and stomach cancer.

Description

Produced by the controlled fermentation of a number of species of Saccharomyces traditionally used in the manufacture of food. White to tan amorphous powder. Soluble in water (the solution is usually light yellow) but practically insoluble in alcohol, chloroform or ether. The major active principle is invertase, IUB No. 3.2.1.26, CAS No. 9001-57-4.

Chemical Properties

solid

Uses

Invertase from baker′s yeast (S. cerevisiae) has been used:

• in liquid media (YES) and is used to determine the invertase activity
• supplemented to the reaction mixture in the extraction and analysis of sugars and starch
• for sucrose hydrolysis

Uses

Invertase Glycoprotein Standard has been used:

• to generate N-linked glycan library
• as a negative control to study the binding of lectins to high mannose structures
• for sample pre-treatment in proteomic analyses to study drug-induced toxic epidermal necrolysis

Uses

For preparation of invert sugar from sucrose; as analytical reagent for sucrose.

Definition

Enzyme produced by yeast and by the lining of the intestines. It is a white powder, soluble in water. It catalyzes the conversion of sucrose (ordinary sugar) to glucose and levulose (fructose) during fermentation of sugars.

General Description

Invertase from Candida utilis is secreted in the periplasm. The molecular weight of invertase from C. utilis is 300 kDa. It is a dimer of identical subunits. It is a N-glycosylated protein, rich in mannose oligosaccharide in its structure. The invertase encoding gene of C. utilis shares high homology with SUC2 gene of Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Flammability and Explosibility

Not classified

Biochem/physiol Actions

Invertase acts on sucrose and cleaves it into glucose and fructose. It is used in the preparation of invert syrup with equimolar concentration of fructose and sucrose. It finds its applications in confectionaries and in the production of alcoholic beverages, glycerol and lactic acid. Invertase is also used in the preparation of artificial honey, plasticizers for cosmetic industries.
