Production Of Invertase Enzyme
Inverted sugar syrup can be made without acids or enzymes by heating it up alone: two parts granulated sugar and one-part water, simmered for five to seven minutes, will be partly inverted. Commercially prepared enzyme-catalysed solutions are inverted at 60 °C (140 °F).
Where is invertase enzyme produced?
Invertase is produced by different strains of microorganisms, Saccharomyces cerevisiae commonly called Baker's yeast is the primary strain used for the production of Invertase commercially. They are found in wild growing on the skin of grapes, oranges and other fruits.
Do humans produce invertase?
Invertase is found in human saliva. It is produced by the bacteria, Streptococcus mutans, present in dental plaque.
