Invertase Extra Pure is a high-grade enzyme preparation that catalyzes the hydrolysis of sucrose into glucose and fructose. Valued for its exceptional purity and enzymatic activity, it is extensively used in biochemical research, food analysis, and industrial applications where accurate sugar conversion is critical. This enzyme plays a crucial role in fermentation processes, enzymatic assays, and carbohydrate studies. Its stability and efficiency make it a preferred choice in laboratories requiring consistent, reproducible results. For best performance, it should be stored in a cool, dry place and handled with care to preserve its enzymatic integrity.
Invertase Extra Pure
Primary Uses
- Enzymatic Hydrolysis of Sucrose:
Invertase catalyzes the breakdown of sucrose into glucose and fructose, making it essential in carbohydrate metabolism studies, enzyme kinetics, and biochemistry experiments. - Fermentation and Microbial Research:
Commonly used to support yeast fermentation studies and to analyze sugar utilization pathways in microbes. - Food Chemistry and Sugar Analysis:
Utilized in quantifying invert sugar content and evaluating sugar transformation during storage or processing.
Secondary Uses
- Educational Demonstrations of Enzyme Activity:
Serves as a reliable model enzyme in biotechnology or biology labs to teach about enzyme specificity, pH dependence, and temperature effects. - Substrate for Biosensor Development:
Studied in biosensors where invertase is immobilized to detect sugars or other analytes through enzymatic action. - Pharmaceutical and Nutraceutical Research:
Investigated for its role in formulating sugar-modified compounds or studying enzyme-stabilizing excipients.
