FOOD INGREDIENTS AND ENZYMES OF MICROBIAL ORIGIN 249<br />

4. Invertase<br />

Invertase can be used to hydrolyze sucrose to invert sugars (mixture of glucose and<br />

fructose) and increase sweetness. It is used in chocolate processing.<br />

5. Lactase<br />

Whey contains high amounts of lactose. Lactose can be concentrated from whey<br />

and treated with lactase to produce glucose and galactose. It can then be used to<br />

produce alcohol.<br />

6. Lipases<br />

Lipases may be used to accelerate cheese flavor along with some proteases.<br />
