Abstract
Glucose oxidase (GOx) finds use, often in combination with catalase, for protection of nutrients and flavor of liquid dairy products and fruit juices against oxidative deterioration. The effect of calcium ions on the rate of oxygen depletion in aqueous food models was investigated electrochemically in order to optimize use of GOx in calcium- rich food products as a prerequisite to studies of selected food and beverage. Oxygen depletion rate by GOx from Aspergillus niger in aqueous glucose solution was found to decrease in the presence of calcium in the absence of catalase but was not affected by calcium in the presence of catalase. Calcium ion activity rather than calcium ion concentration should accordingly be controlled for optimization of the used GOx. Free calcium concentration depletion rate as followed electrochemically was found to decrease for increasing glucose concentration while the rate of formation of hydrogen ions was unaffected by glucose concentration. Temperature effect (25–50 ℃) was moderate with an enthalpy of activation of ΔH# = + 23 kJ·mol−1 for calcium depletion by complex binding while rate of hydrogen ion formation was decreasing with temperature with ΔH# = − 8 kJ·mol−1. Calcium is concluded to affect glucose oxidation rate by interaction with the enzyme or with the enzyme substrate complex rather than with glucose as the substrate for oxidation or gluconate as the oxidized product.
期刊介绍:
The journal European Food Research and Technology publishes state-of-the-art research papers and review articles on fundamental and applied food research. The journal''s mission is the fast publication of high quality papers on front-line research, newest techniques and on developing trends in the following sections:
-chemistry and biochemistry-
technology and molecular biotechnology-
nutritional chemistry and toxicology-
analytical and sensory methodologies-
food physics.
Out of the scope of the journal are:
- contributions which are not of international interest or do not have a substantial impact on food sciences,
- submissions which comprise merely data collections, based on the use of routine analytical or bacteriological methods,
- contributions reporting biological or functional effects without profound chemical and/or physical structure characterization of the compound(s) under research.
