Abstract
The current and potential uses of various exogenous (added) oxidoreductases and isomerases in dairy technology are discussed. Catalase catalyzes the decomposition of H2O2 and has been used, among others, for the degradation of excess hydrogen peroxide. Glucose oxidase has a number of potential uses in the dairy industry, including removal of trace levels of glucose and O2 and in situ generation of H2O2 and acid. Recently, hexose oxidase has been commercialized and it has been shown to be useful in controlling the Maillard reaction in heated cheese. Glucose isomerase is also discussed.
