Name and explain an enzyme used in industry
Protease - used to make and pr-digest baby foods
4 of 8
Name and explain an enzyme used in industry
Carbohydrates - convert starch into sugars(glucose) syrup, which is cheap
5 of 8
Name and explain an enzyme used in industry
Isomerase - used to change glucose into fructose syrup
6 of 8
Glucose and fructose have the same amount of energy, why is fructose used more?
1.Fructose is sweeter 2.smaller amounts are used 3.used in 'slimming foods', so food tastes sweeter with fewer calories
