Kotwal, V. Shankar, Biotechnology Advances, Immobilized invertase, 2009</ref> because, as we said before, this enzyme hydrolyzes sucrose to release an equimolar mixture of fructose and glucose ("invert" sugar). This "invert" sugar syrup is very used in food industry because it provides a longer shelf life for products. For instance, invertase prevents cristallization in soft candies like cherry cordials. This enzyme is also used for artificial honey fabrication, pharmaceutical and papers industries, along with enzyme electrodes for the detection of sucrose. | ||
