SERINE PROTEASE (TRYPSIN) FROM FUSARIUM OXYSPORUM EXPRESSED IN FUSARIUM VENENATUM

摘要

At the request of the Codex Committee on Food Additives at its Forty-third Session (FAO/WHO, 2011), the Committee evaluated an enzyme preparation containing a serine protease with trypsin specificity (trypsin: Enzyme Commission number 3.4.21.4), whichit had not evaluated previously. Serine protease (trypsin) catalyses the hydrolysis of peptide bonds in a protein, primarily at the carboxyl side of lysine (Lys-X) or arginine (Arg-X), where X is not proline. In this monograph, the expression "serine protease (trypsin)" refers to the serine protease (trypsin) enzyme and its amino acid sequence, and the expression "serine protease (trypsin)enzyme preparation" refers to the serine protease (trypsin) enzyme preparation as formulated for commercial use. The serine protease (trypsin) enzyme preparation is used as a food additive in the manufacture of partially or extensively hydrolysed proteins for applications in food and beverages, for protein fortification and for emulsification or flavour enhancement.
