A method of producing hexose oxidase by recombinant DNA technology, recombinant hexose oxidase and the use of such enzyme, in particular in the manufacturing of food products such as doughs and dairy products, animal feed, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, dental care products and in the manufacturing of lactones. Suitable sources of DNA coding for the enzyme are marine algal species includingand. In useful embodiments, the recombinant hexose oxidase is produced byor

Recombinant hexose oxidase, a method of producing same and use of such enzyme

A novel cold-active beta-galactosidase is enzyme specific for lactose. The enzyme is thus useful in e.g. the food industry for catalyzing at low temperatures the hydrolysis of lactose disaccharide into its constituent monosaccharides, glucose and galactose. A method produces the cold-active beta-galactosidase by recombinant DNA technology.

Cold-active beta-galactosidase, a method of producing same and use of such enzyme

Use of a preparation as an antimicrobial agent or as an anti-oxidant; wherein said preparation comprises a polypeptide having hexose oxidase activity, the polypeptide being in a substantially pure form, and said polypeptide comprises at least one amino acid sequence selected from the group consisting of where X represents an amino acid selected from the group consisting of Ala, Arg, Asn, Asp, Asx, Cys, Gln, Glu, Glx, Gly, His, Ile, Leu, Lys, Met, Phe, Pro, Ser, Thr, Trp, Tyr and Val.

Recombinant hexose oxidase

Hexose oxidase-encoding DNAs and methods of use thereof

The present invention concerns a new &#x3b2;-galactosidase with transgalactosylating activity isolated fromand a truncated enzyme where the C-terminal end of the &#x3b2;-galactosidase protein has been deleted, resulting in an enzyme with a higher transgalactosylating activity than hydrolase activity. When lactose is used as a substrate, galacto-oligosaccharides are products of the transgalactosylase activity. Galacto-oligosaccharides enhance growth of health-promotingthat may be used in a number of applications in the dairy industry.

A novel L-arabinose isomerase active enzyme and its corresponding gene, derived from a thermophilic source are provided. The enzyme is suitable for the production of D-tagatose, a useful low-calorie sweetener. The enzyme may be obtained from aspecies such as

Thermostable isomerase and use hereof, in particular for producing tagatose

Tagatose is manufactured by hydrolyzing lactose to galactose and glucose and isomerizing galactose to tagatose and chromatographic separation and recycling any unconverted compounds. Thereby high yields of pure tagatose are obtained.

Process for manufacturing of tagatose

The present invention concerns a new &bgr;-galactosidase with transgalactosylating activity isolated from and a truncated enzyme where the C-terminal end of the &bgr;-galactosidase protein has been deleted, resulting in an enzyme with a higher transgalactosylating activity than hydrolase activity. When lactose is used as a substrate, galacto-oligosaccharides are products of the transgalactosylase activity. Galacto-oligosaccharides enhance growth of health-promoting Bifidobacterium that may be used in a number of applications in the dairy industry.
